Mansfield Park
Mansfield Park , the property of Mr. Alexander Balfour, situated on the south bank of the Awamoko river, contains 635 acres, and was purchased in 1875 in its unimproved state. The homestead is situated on a terrace overlooking the Awamoko valley, and is surrounded by a plantation of useful and ornamental trees. The land is devoted to grain-growing, and the rearing and fattening of stock, for which it is admirably adapted.
