AUCKLAND-DISTRICT. ' PARTICULARS OF THAMES VALLEY FARM. . 1001 ACRES-£9 10s. PER ACRE. This property is situated Bix miles from thriving township and railway station, and consists of 1901 ACRES Freehold, and is a piece of as fine country as anyono could wish to clap eyes on. Tho situation is exceedingly good, lying as it does at tho foot of tho range; ;boing in this position it gets a far greater raintall than the rest of the district, and also has the benefit of the' perpetual "wash-off" the hills—thus 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. There is a very small frontage to the main road, but the property widens out like a fan, and there is a private metalled road extending from the main road to tho house, a distance of one mile, and this road leads right through the fattening paddocks—thus making it particu-larly-easy to-lay off' dairy farms—giving this road, as an access. -This road is fenced for the whole distance both sides of 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. We understand that 501b. of "seed; to the acre was sown on this bush.burn,-and we never have seou anything finer than the result in all our experience, Under 200 of bush still remain to be felled on tho property in yarious clumps—the first piece being, about 70 Acres. This is all '-valuable- good bush. • ; The general lie of tho'country is about'7oo Acres of rich fattening flats on the frontage, and then there is a low range of hills rising gradually off the flat .to an average height of about 100 ft. There are three lagoons, several hundred yards in'length, on these tablo lands. Thero'is only ono corner of tho property which could, be described' as hilly, and that consists of about' 120' Acres- all of which, however, is firstclass'sheep country,- TKo'formation on the flats is all'a rich gray deposit, and tho wholo 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;' The sheep havo been on tho place for 20 years, and this fact speaks for itself. A good portion of this place has-been, dairied on by the late owner, and on 1200 Acres he was carrying 150 dairy cows, 200 head of store cattle, and 2000 sheep. We'.think that this will- 'satisfy as to tho carrying capacity, and there was ample feed all through the winter. Tho Stock, which aro now on the place, can bo had at valuation. .'..' '.. . BUILDINGS. Tho Buildings on this property are exceptionally good. There is a really fine modern 10-roomcd house, having every convenience—hot and cold water inside, w:c.'s, and every sanitary convenience that can bo desired. There is also another G-rdomed house suitable for working manager, or for Janyone milking on shares, and also another' G-r'oomed house very much out of repair, but which would not take more than £100 to put in order. These two buildings would be very useful if shifted, on to othor portions of tho farm in the event of it being cut up. There is a remarkably lino shed, concrete floor, and exceptionally fino loft, which was originally built as a milking-shed, and contains 44 bails. This shed has the water laid oh both sides, so that by turning a tap they could flush tho whole shed witli a powerful stream of water. This shed ]\m a lean-to stable for machinery, and the whole would make one of tho finest woolsheds to _be seen' anywhere; with very 'little alteration. There is also another largo cowshed (24 bails), and a woolshed with shearing machines installed, driven by turbine, there being a fino and permanent flow of water. The plantations round the house are excellent and very numerous. Tliero aro also largo stables, and innumerable poultry. yards and houses. Thoro aro no noxious weeds on the place that we aro aware of—not having come across any in tho course of two or threo visits there. The position of this place must always.bo a great.-asset to it. The markets are at one's door—the goldfields/on one side of Auckland, and the 6tock sales held at Waihi are admittedly the most important in the Waikato; these yards aro only a fow miles from the property. It costs 2d. per head to send fat slieon to Auckland, and only a few shillings per head for fat cattle. Wo have no hesitation in saying that tho man who buys this property, has a big thing on, either to farm or sell ; again at a very handsome profit indeed. PRICE, £9 10s. PER ACRE. TERMS GIVEN.
