• Notes

  17 May 1853 Cape Frontier Times 1853 Important Sale Of that Valuable Property NAZAAR FARM The Undersigned intends selling by auction, in front of Mr. POTE’s Auction Rooms On Monday 6th June That highly Valuable Property known as the “Nazaar Farm”, situate in the Field-Cornetcy of Bushman’s River, and measuring as per Diagram [gap left] Acres, bounded by property belonging to G. WOOD Esq, J. LONG, E. DANIELS and J. JAKINS. It can be confidently stated that there is not a better farm in the whole Colony, whether considered as to its capabilities for Agriculture or for pasture, and few farms in this Colony have yielded larger returns with so little labour bestowed upon the culture: £600 per annum was about the average annual return before the war, and the undersigned has been in receipt of 12s per diem from the sale of butter alone, which income continued up to the time of the removal of their stock before the war. The supply of water is inexhaustible; on one part of the farm there are not fewer than Sixteen Springs, and the Nazaar River runs over a space of four miles on the property, and the deep glen through which the river runs is clothed with the finest sweet grass which affords abundant shelter for stock and maintains them in good condition all the year round. Sheep, Cattle and Horses thrive well on this farm, and so desirable has been the acquisition of this fine estate that the advertisers have several times refused upwards of £2000 for it. It is now in the market for private sale until the above date, and if not sold in the interim will be offered publicly for sale. It will not be out of place to mention that the new line of road from Port Elizabeth passes within a mile and a half of the boundary on one side. CHOLWICH & Brother C. POTE, Auctioneer
