Comments: Carbene has been developed carefully by the one owner over the past 25 years. They have selectively cleared country and established a thick cover of Buffel pasture. The carrying capacity has been dramatically increased as a result of this and the great stock water system. The property is equally suited to breeding or back-grounding.
