(Signed) % James Smith. Beaver Inn. April 18. 203 RARE OPPORTUNITY TO AGRICULTURISTS, DAIRY FARMERS, AND MODERATE CAPITALISTS. Freehold agricultural ESTATE. FOR SALE OR TO LET. Situated in the most enviable part of the delightful suburbs of Nelson. To Farmers, as a profitable field of enterprise ; to the Merchant, or Retired Tradesman, seeking a comfortable villa residence 5 or the Capitalist, a good and safe investment; the above property offers advantages seldom to be met with. CHACELY HILL END, the property of Mr, James Gore, situate at Waimea south, within three miles of the flourishing township of Richmond, and ten miles from the city of Nelson, is FOR IMMEDIATE SALE, OR TO LET; comprising nearly* Two Hundred Acres of rich agricultural Land, commencing with a gradual and easy rise from the main road from Richmond, and skirted by a beautiful range of low verdant hills, commanding a most magnificent view of the surrounding country, and the sea in the distance. To do justice in a descriptive point of view to this very eligible and enviable site would require the pen of a poet, and the pencil of an artist. Parties, therefore, wishing to avail themselves of either purchasing or renting this property should lose no time in viewing it, in order to judge of its value and appreciate its position, whether for a private country seat or a farm homestead. Part of the land is portioned off into paddocks, securely fenced and under, cultivation. Arrangements have been made for a carriage drive (if necessary) from the entrance gate up to the HOUSE, which stands upon a gentle eminence, and is substantially built, containing about eight rooms when completed, which will be done either by the owner or the purchaser, as may be agreed upon; also a neat fourroomed COTTAGE, situated at a suitable distance from the family residence to serve either as a Lodge to the Estate or living apartments for the men engaged on the farm. The BARN is the next to, if not the largest and best in the Province of Nelson. The OUT-OFFICES are replete with every desirable convenience. There is a splendid and never-failing supply of the purest WATER, with a pump fixed inside the back kitchen, and every other comfort necessary to constitute a happy home. The Lawn and Garden have been somewhat neglected of late, on account of the owner’s intended departure to settle in the town; but the profitable and expensively planted ORCHARD will more than repay the little extra •expense to make the Garden one of the prettiest in Nelson. The property can be inspected at any time, upon application to Mr. Gore, at the new College, Waimea-road, and from whom all particulars can be obtained. Mr. Gore will be happy to conduct parties wishing to see the place by arrangement. Terms moderate, and, if sold, part of the purchase money may remain upon security of the property for a term as may be convenient to the purchaser. Title-—Crown Grant (unencumbered).
