Might be some bargains in eastern Ukraine?
Some might call the same area “western Russia”

Looked at Cattle ranches. Thought it was affordable, all things considered. Wife's got Cousins there, so Canadian prices not immigration agents prices.

Depends what you want, house infrastructure etc.
My Mrs said she'd go to near Trevelin , Patagonia if she was in her twenties again!
She's got Cousins in Australia but I wouldn't fancy that.

My wife had a Columbian friend; oh that Salsa

Indeed, the catchphrase of two pals that spent some time out there was, 'Nae dogs in Bogota like!'

Seriously South Africa is seriously good farming country we've been a couple of times and I'd move in a heartbeat but they aren't too keen about white folk coming in from outside .

Nor black folks from outside. Just another African country that “could have been” with a bit better leadership.

 

[Lowland1]

But Kenya were OK? How often do you come back to UK?

Less now that the kids aren't in school and since Dad died . About three times a year.

We had a visitor from South Africa whose family farmed in the Congo there were 15 families who have been there for over a 100 years. He showed some amazing pictures of the most beautiful farms in a valley, fantastic crops and cattle they had a fleet of new John Deere tractors and combines it looked like a farming paradise but it was miles from anywhere in a totally lawless country. However they were making a very very good living. I want to send my son to Zimbabwe as there's plenty of opportunities there but the truth of it is you don't want to be putting a lot of money into these places you want to be renting and borrowing as much as you can so if you have to walk away you can.

Are there tractor an machinery dealers out there or do you have to import every nut an bolt yourself?

 

[steveR]

I'd never heard of operation Julie just read about it on Wikipedia! Heck of a story that! I wonder if he's still out there?

He was 2 years back, but in poor health. He did say the Health service there was excellent, but no where near the range of a 1st World country

I think he was pretty well setup financially.... So could afford decent healthcare.

The golden years on an empire where the sun never set

For some.
