A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY, •
ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
offering attractions awl advantages of the utmost moment to
the emigrant Farmer with capital, or the great Capitalist,
who will know well hew to appreciate the benefits which
his capital, with labour and exertions, will command, in
a country where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer-
tain, at all periods of the year, to facilitate the laudable endea-
vour to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold
and praiseworthy efforts will so justly entitle himin
thisimpr.
tance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by
country to Settlers,
THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM
GOVERNMENT, AND UNQUESTIONABE;
and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as
SLABBERT'S POORT,
one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape
of Good Hope. It is situated In the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in
the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and
east longitude 23.13 to 15, near the Iraka River. It is
A SHEEP FARM,
and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in
the Cape. The hill pastures are covered with sweet grass from
the base to the summit. On the plains will be found
le plenty of
grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and catt get fat
very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends
43,304 ACRE .i> OF RICH PASTURAGr E,
which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain.
THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE
WHOLE YEAR,
which, ander able management, it is needless to remark, will afford
the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe-
rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it ; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines ; also five permanent springs,
giving a never-failing supply of water.
The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes tlp Estates
as follows :—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for
A STORE, OR SHOP, UPON A GREAT SCALE."
Full particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive
and unequalled Estate will be published, and may be had twenty-
. eight days prior to the Sale, of D. H. Williams, Esq., solicitor,
Copthall-court, Throgmorton-street, City ; at the Auction Mart ;
and at Mr. George Robins's offices,
