Farm for Sale in Maun Central

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial 6,924.9409-hectare leasehold farm situated in the Hainaveld cattle ranching block of Botswana, approximately 140 km south of Maun and in close proximity to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The property is currently suited to livestock production and is positioned within an established agricultural area where cattle farming remains the predominant land use. At the same time, the surrounding Hainaveld has seen an increasing number of cattle farms being converted to game farms and safari operations, highlighting the broader tourism and wildlife potential of this strategically positioned area. Location & Access The farm is accessed via Makalamabedi village, off the Maun–Nata road, followed by gravel and sandy roads. The property is approximately 140 km south of Maun, with the final approach being off-road. Its location places the property within the Hainaveld landscape immediately north of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The area is already home to established safari and tourism operations, including lodges situated along the northern boundary of the reserve. The nearby Central Kalahari Game Reserve provides a significant tourism draw, while Maun remains the principal commercial centre for the area and provides access to markets, schools, shops, medical services and other essential facilities. Agricultural & Water Infrastructure The farm is predominantly fenced, with fencing consisting mainly of gum poles and droppers and reported to be well maintained. Water is supplied by an equipped borehole, with PVC pipe reticulation to watering points and game drinking pools, including a 5,000-litre JoJo tank. The property has the basic infrastructure required for an operational cattle farm and could also provide a foundation for alternative agricultural or wildlife-related use, subject to the necessary approvals. Improvements Existing improvements generally comprise: • Farmhouse/dwelling • Ancillary buildings • Equipped borehole • PVC water reticulation • 5,000-litre JoJo water tank • Well-maintained fencing • Basic infrastructure supporting livestock operations The dwelling and ancillary buildings are in a fair condition. Utilities There is currently no mains electricity connection to the property. Solar power and diesel generators are commonly used as alternative power sources in the area. There is also no mains sewerage system, with sewerage disposal by means of soakaways. Surrounding Area The Hainaveld is a semi-arid Kalahari environment characterised by Acacia bush savannah, broadleaved woodland and relatively flat terrain at approximately 1,000 metres above sea level. Wildlife in the broader area includes elephant, kudu, ostrich, steenbok and duiker, while the surrounding Hainaveld also supports established private game farms and safari lodges. The property's proximity to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve adds a compelling tourism dimension. Nearby safari properties demonstrate the established visitor interest in the region, while the Hainaveld's location provides an attractive setting for buyers looking at cattle, game or longer-term tourism opportunities. Commercial & Agricultural Advantages The Hainaveld farming area is reliant on Maun for many goods and services and benefits from access to established livestock markets. Maun is home to the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) abattoir, while additional private abattoir facilities in the wider Ngamiland area provide further potential livestock marketing channels. The region has an established commercial cattle-farming base, with Hainaveld recognised as an important area for commercial cattle production. A veterinary fence has also been developed around the Hainaveld farming block in support of efforts to improve the area's livestock status and market access. Climate & Vegetation The area experiences a semi-arid climate with variable rainfall of generally less than 500 mm per annum. Temperatures range from approximately 16°C during winter to around 40°C in summer. The terrain is predominantly flat, with Kalahari soils and vegetation consisting mainly of Acacia bush savannah and areas of broadleaved woodland. Investment Potential The property's size, established agricultural infrastructure and strategic position near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve make it an interesting opportunity for an investor seeking a substantial Botswana agricultural holding. While currently suited to cattle production, the surrounding Hainaveld has demonstrated a growing transition towards game farming and safari-related enterprises. Established tourism properties in the immediate area provide evidence of the potential tourism appeal of this part of Botswana.
