Abstract The author examines the socio-economic phenomenon of the Murghab sovereign’s estate, formed in the Merv oasis on August 6, 1887. It shows the process of developing the Murghab estate and turning it into a large agroindustrial enterprise, which was set to become a benchmark for other similar establishments. At the same time, the task was set to make the estate an effective farm, part of the profit from which was to eventually go to the State Treasury. The authors reveal that, in the conditions of the need for significant expenditures on irrigation work, Emperor Alexander III ordered the establishment a sovereign’s manor at the expense of the Appanage Department. At the same time, a task was set to make the manor an effective enterprise, part of the profit from which was eventually to go to the State Treasury. Based on the materials of the official reports, the data on expenses and revenues of the Murghab sovereign’s manor were examined, and the conclusion was made that the Appanage Department was to invest heavily into: the acclimatization of plant varieties, the construction of factories for primary processing of agricultural raw materials in the manor and communication routes, the electrification of production, and the creation of special conditions for the service and life of the manor workers. In 1911 the manor began to yield stable profit. In other words, the initial economic task set out was accomplished.
