The specialist marketplace for South Africa's wild real estate.

Sable & Soil is a specialist land marketplace for South Africa's wild and working countryside. We bring together specialist agents, private landowners and buyers with a serious interest in game farms, hunting estates, game lodges, lifestyle farms and agricultural holdings across all nine provinces.

Every property on Sable & Soil is reviewed by our survey desk before it goes live. That review covers presentation and completeness — not the accuracy of the facts supplied. We do not independently verify prices, land size, game counts or water rights: sellers stand behind what they list, and buyers conduct their own due diligence before transacting.

Our catalogue is deliberately narrow and deeply knowledgeable. We curate nine categories of rural property: Game Lodges, Game Farms, Agriculture Farms, Livestock Farms, Lifestyle Farms, Smallholdings, Game Reserve Properties, Winelands Farms and Vacant Land.

Buyers can search by province — from the sable-rich bushveld of Limpopo and North West to the winelands estates of the Western Cape — and filter by land status, game species and counts, water rights, infrastructure and purpose tags like hunting, eco-tourism, breeding operations and off-grid living. Lodges are listed with full hospitality detail: rooms and sleeper capacity, star grading, occupancy and turnover.

Listing a property on Sable & Soil is free. There is no trial period, no subscription and no commission on the sale. Specialist agents and private landowners alike submit their field notes, and our team reviews every listing before publication.

Enquiries go directly to the appointed agent or owner. We never sit between you and your buyer — the relationship, and the deal, remain yours.

Our audience is not general property browsers. Readers arrive looking for something specific — a trophy hunting concession, a working game breeding operation, a hospitality-ready lodge or a quiet lifestyle smallholding.

Brands that serve this market — safari outfitters, game capture teams, fencing and water contractors, auction houses, legal and finance specialists — can reach that audience through exclusive sponsor blocks and long-form sponsored features in our Spotlight section.
