POKOWHAI, NEAR NAPIER. 440 Acres, 416 Acres, 613 Acres. To be sold by Public Auction, at NAPIER, on MONDAY, 26th FEB., at Noon. MR. MILLER has received, positive , instructions from the owner of the’ above properties, Alex. McHardy, Esq., to dispose of all his freehold lands at Pokowhai, in three separate compact blocks, each complete and workable in itself, and present improvements. except buildings, rendering each block capable of re-division, if afterwards found desirable by the purchaser. The whole of the lands'are.under English grasses, watered by seven artesian wells, and are divided into numerous paddocks, each. having, all requisite surface drainage provided for. .The fences are. most substantial, a number of them double, with live quick hedges. These, .with smpil.i plantations dotted over the property, afford ample shelter. This estate, now well known as the best fattening country in New Zealand, is capable of. carrying fat an average of at least seven sheep PER ACP.E. It is handy to; market and port—the nearest point being only i about six miles from Napier. On the 440 acre block there are a substantial dwelling-house and offices, stables, loose boxes, cowsheds, numerous yards, and a dip. The woolahed and yards are within 2£ miles of Farndon Railway station. As the owner requires not only all his available capital, but also to bestow the whole of his attention on a larger and more distant property, he finds it absolutely, necessary to effect a sale of this. To ensure this result, the reserve is really nominal, having now been reduced to a sum far below value. The terms will be easy, as about two-thirds remains on mortgage at 7 per cent, for 8 years. ; As the property must be quitted; intending buyers will do well to pay an early visit. Plans may be seen, and-further particulars obtained, at the office of MURRAY, COMMON, AND CO., Wellington.
