The remains and structure of a dilapidated farm house and associated outbuildings were identified at this location higher up on the banks of the Kuruman River. The house was constructed prior to 1940 as the current occupier of the farm, Mr Gawie Stols, conveyed that his father bought the farm in 1940 and occupied the farm house. Some recent alterations were done to alter the existing house. The outbuildings consist of a large shed and a smaller room close to the house used for ironing (Gawie Stols pers. Communication). The house and buildings were constructed of unbaked clay brickswith corrugated iron roof covering. The flooring inside the house is of wood and cement with floor covering in some rooms. The house was evacuated in the 1980’s, when the Stols family moved to the new homestead on the farm. The current state of the structures is severely dilapidated beyond repair and consist of various rooms a kitchen and a large stoep. A round dam Constructed of unbaked clay bricks and three associated wind pumps are situated in close proximity to the house.
