AUCTIONEER’S NOTE—The Public Auction of “Seaview” places on the open market one of the most attractive and high producing properties to have been offered in Canterbury for many years. “Seaview” has been in the well known Little family for close on 80 years, and it is only being sold because of personal circumstances. The property consists of practically all clean, sweet limestone country, with an adequate depth of high fertility soil overlying. It has ample stock water, and being situated right on the coast, it enjoys a relatively high and well spread annual rainfall, together with mild and favourable winter conditions. Stocking has been somewhat conservative, and whilst immediate high returns are available to the purchaser, there is still terrific potential left in the property, especially per medium of increased cattle numbers. Virtually all the stock work to date has been done by one man, which indicates the ease with which this property can be worked, yet we confidently believe that it could fully support any increase in labour units, and has very definite subdivisional possibilities. The buildings are all in very good repair and the delightful homestead does full justice to the property. We believe that “Seaview” must appeal to the discriminating purchaser who has been looking for a high producing unit with a full and adequate range of buildings, yet one with considerable further potential and definite subdivisional possibilities. “INSPECTION STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT WITH THE AUCTIONEERS ONLY.” For further partculars apply— NATIONAL MORTGAGE & AGENCY CO.
