The existing Dohne-merino herd can be increased and vegetables, fruit and lucerne will thrive in this area. Due to vegetation consisting of reeds and small shrubs, it is relatively easy to prepare new lands. Potatoes are planted and harvested throughout the year, except for winter. The farm then generates an income by making its equipment and labour available for other producers. The house is a sturdy 3 bedroom, face brick building. The current manager and labourers will be available to the new owner. A list of implements included in the sale, is available on request. This is an excellent investment which will be difficult for a commercial bank to equal.
