Bergtop:
This property is exclusive as none other like this is available on the market.

There are no buildings on “Bergtop”. This property lends itself to the building of a very exclusive lodge/chalets or private home close to the precipice to enjoy the most beautiful, extraordinary, breath-taking views over the Namib semi-desert. Every season creates its own colour schemes. The housing would be on top of the mountain with picturesque views. Paragliding, 4x4 trails, etc. would draw many visitors.

The most awesome sunsets and views of more than 180º over the Namib below and mountain ranges and 180º inland views with grasslands, vegetation, and mountains bring a tranquillity to the beholder. The precipice has several jagged extended points overlooking the world's oldest desert. It is a place of towering mountains in the distance, a variety of deep-orange and other colours plains in the valley, contrasted with rocky red outcrops and the scenery changes with the seasons to a beautiful green in the rainy season to arid type desert during the off-rainy season.

This view has never been eternalised on canvas. Artists from all over the world can flock to this incredulous view site to live out their passion on canvas. Flying or paragliding or Hot air Balloon Rides from this point is an otherworldly experience. Thermals and/or dynamic lift from a sheer drop allow for a sensational gliding over a vast terrain for an unforgettable experience. One that will live with you forever.

Some of these antelope and predators migrate along a path in a kloof from the plains below to Bergtop on the plato and can be viewed, especially during drier times of the year.
