Sounds very nice and price seems reasonable too.
How many head of cattle do/can you run?
"23 camps". Is this 23 paddocks?
Any photos? If you have any in electronic format and need them posted, feel free to send them to me. If in photo paper format, I can also scan them for you if this helps but you would need to post them to me. See the contacts page for address.

Good luck on your sale

Hi Nitro
Half the farms is rented out and has about 200 cattle on it, yes camps are paddocks. My folks live on the farm, they live there for the South African summers and the UK for the english summer. Half the farm is rented for about R35,000 per year so it if you rented the lot it could produce a decent income.
I have sent photos of the farm, i will try to get some of my hunting photos on the farm from my trip back in Feb 2003.

Looks like a very nice property. Pretty open country.
What sort of game, small or medium, exists on the property?
PS Will try to rotate the photos on their side. Didn't get to it yet, but posted anyway to get them up. The panoramic one will need to be shrunk though to fit.
