A new piece of land for MFarms

When I least expected it, a relative approached me mid-week to offer her land for sale. I was very excited bcos I have been eyeing the land for some time but when I sent feelers last year, I heard the family was not keen to sell. Many people are also interested in the land - it is about the only piece that has not been pledged to RH under the NCR land scheme. Further it is near to the main road, about a kilometre from SRK Sg Dijih and 1.5 km from my longhouse.

After negotiating the price, my wife and I balik kampung today and visited the land together with the relative, the neighbouring land owner, our tuai rumah and some equally excited relatives. I called my nephew-in-law, who is a qualified surveyor based in Mukah and he came to survey the land using GPS. The new land is about 8.894 ha or 21.977 acres surrounded by oil palm plantation. It has access road on three sides. The land has a small water fall. It is about 800 meters from the main road (Jln Sg Dijih) and easily accessible. You can see Bukit Kuncit in the background and also Rh Bili as well. The mini dam and waterfall is also seen in these pictures. I can plant about 1,200 oil palm trees on the new land. Since the access road is already available, I only need to make roads within the land and terrace some hilly parts. As you can see from the pictures, there are some big trees on one side of the land. Sure the next few months will be a busy one for me but I know I will enjoy it. Praise the Lord, thank you Lord.
