LAND NOTICES. EAST & -EA ST, ESTATE AGENTS, AUCTIONEERS, SHAREBROKERS, GREY AND FEATHERSTON STREETS. AUCKLAND DISTRICT. PARTICULARS OF THAMES VALLEY FARM. 1901 ACRES-JC9 10s. PER ACRE. This property is- situated six miles from thriving township and railway station, and consists of 1001 ACRES Freehold, and is .1 piece of as fine country as anyone could wish to clap eyes on. Tho situation is exceedingly good, lying as it does at tho foot of the range; being in this position it gets a far greater rainfall than the rest of the district, and also has the benefit of tho perpetual "wash-off tho hills-tints ensuring that the soil is always being renewed. There is a fine metalled road to the property. This property is known all over New Zealand for its famous fattening qualities. J- hero is a very small frontage to the main road, but tho property widens out like a fan, ana there is a private metalled road extending from the mam road to the house, a distance of ono mile, and this road leads right through the fattening paddocks-thus making it particularly easy to lay off dairy farms-giving this road as an access. This road is lence-d tor the whole distance both sides ot the road with eight wire sheep-proof fencing. 700 Acres of this property was only felled and grassed last year, and is a perfect picture, there being a magnificent sole of grass, tte understand' that SUlb. of seed to the acre was sown on this bush burn, and we never have seen anything finer than the result in all our experience. Under 200 Acres ot bush sail, remain to bo foiled on the property in various clumps-tlic first piece being about <0 Acres. This is all valuable good bush. Tho general lie of the country is ahout iW Acres of rich fattening flats on the frontaffe, and ttfen there is a low range of bills rising gradually off the flat to an average height or about ICOft. There are three'lagoons, several hundred yards in length, on these tabic lniuls. There is only one corner of the properly which could be described as hilly, and that consists of about 120 Acres, all of which, however, is first-class sheep country. The formation on the Hats is all a rich ptrav deposit, and the v!u>le of this country has been tile drained. On the hills, the formation is a rich chocolate loam, with a sort of limestone and stone rubble running through it. Tho shrcp have been on the fi!ni:e Tor 20 vears, and this fact speaks for itsfll. A "oo.l'portion of this place has h:-e\\ itomcd on by the Lite owner, and on IMO Anvs 'ie was carrying 150 sluirv cows, iflll i)O;ul (it -tor«? cattle, n'iirl 2000 sheep.

There are also largo stables, anrt innumerable poultry yards and houses, mere aro no noxious weeds on tho place that we are aware of—not having come across any in tno conrso of two or three visits there. The position of this place must always be a great asset to it. The markets are at ones door—the goldfields on olio side of Aneklantl, and the stock sales hold at V.ailio are admittedly the most important in tho .JVaikatO; theso yards are only a few miles from the property. It costs 2d. par head to seixl.fat sheep to Auckland, and-only a few slulliiigs iicr head for fat cattle. . We have no hesitation in saying that the man who buys this protierty lias a lug thing on, either to farm or sell again at a very handsome profit indeed. PRICE, £0 10s. PER ACRE. TERMS GIVEN.
