The Swartberg Private Wildlife Estate, located in South Africa's Klein Karoo region, is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. This semi-arid area boasts stunning landscapes featuring rugged mountains, valleys, and unique flora and fauna, with the Swartberg Mountains serving as a prominent geological landmark.
Wildlife estates like this one often prioritize conservation efforts, providing a habitat for various species while offering a unique experience for owners interested in nature and wildlife. The Swartberg Private Wildlife Estate spans 2,000 hectares and borders the Swartberg Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its hiking trails, scenic drives, and rich biodiversity.
With only 17 freehold properties, Kiepersol Koppie remains the last undeveloped
plot within the estate's 2,000 hectares. Named for the distinctive Kiepersol trees (Cussonia species, also known as Cabbage trees) found exclusively in this area, it offers beautiful views of the Swartberg Mountains and the surrounding estate and wildlife. These trees are native to Africa and are characterized by their distinctive cabbage-shaped rosette of leaves at the top.
The Reserve is fenced for the safety of both wildlife and residents, while individual properties remain open to game. The estate hosts an abundance of wildlife, including Cape Mountain Zebra, giraffe, springbok, kudu, lechwe, rhebok, gemsbok, and many more.
The Reserve is conveniently located 53 km from Oudtshoorn, 23 km from the scenic Route 62, and 115 km from George Airport.
For nature lovers seeking a lifestyle shift that prioritizes peace and a slower pace of life, this estate is a true paradise.
