The particulars are as hereunder :— MOLESWORTH, the freehold of which is some 8223 acres, and the leasehold 119,400 acres with a complete homestead, shearing shed, scouring plant, capable of working both properties. The Awatere River flows past the Homeetead'6 front door, and low hills extending out as far as Lake M'Rao and to the Bluff boundary. The rich slopes of the Awatere Valley provides excellent ■ pasture and browsing fjround, for the breeding of sheep, and has been used largely as ewe .'. country. TARNDALE "& RAINBOW, comprising ' 2277 acres 'of Freehold and ■ 198,000 Leasehold, has considerably improved, as the late Mr. Duncan Rutherford during his occupancy declared death ■on the rabbits, and evenly distributed his stock of shiep and increased the . carrying of cattle to such an extent . .that the grazing pastures have considerably reasserted themselves. The ; possibilities of this vast tract of land . must appeal to capitalists and to ■■ young men-of energy. ' The world's chief requirements are herein produced at the present moment on this pronerty in the shape of mutton and beef. The territory is a remarkable block of low-priced lands, low priced not because of their, quality, but'because of their- isolation and the giganticness of their territory, and great results could be produced if oiin c-ared to snhdivide and relet small holdings that would be of great . advantage nmhprove remunerative to its owners and' be the first step to give ocular demonstration of the ijrent potentialities these properties, offer.
