It is an attractive property, one can almost drive buggy over the whole of it, and out of the 8000 acres fully 6000 acres are ploughable, 3000 acres have been ploughed and sown down in best of English grasses, and looks very well, Another 2000 acres have been burnt and surface sown, 1000 acres still in scrub, manuka, high tutu and fern. The remaining was originally bush countiy, of which 1000 acres is in grand grass. This clearing was felled 1G years ago, and is fattening bullocks, so that it must bo good country to hold the grass so long. The remaining 1000 acres is a fine piece ot standing bush, tawii, rimu, matai, and puketsa. This bush country is practically level, and a saw mill is about to be built on an adjoining block. The whole place is ring fenced and subdivided into numerous sheep proof paddocks, all fencing in tip-top order. The soil is of a good loam on top of a clay subsoil, has no pumue in it at all, and is well adapted for all kinds of propping grain or roots. 50 acres were cropped for oats last year, and a fins yield resulted. 250 acr<;s are now ploughed for turnips. Carrying, at present time 3000 odd sheep (4000 were shorn), and 1100 bullocks, and the place is very much understocked, cowgrass and rye grass being a foot high all over place. Fully 1200 cows could be carried on improved portion. Good homestead in glorious position, overlooking harbour. House is a ll roomed one, jbuilt 2 years ago; large up-to-date woolshed fitted with machines, stable and all buildings complete, also 5 and 6 roomed houses. The land is well adapted for cutting up into dairy fainis, as besides having a big road frontage (property is long and narrow) a graded road has been rcade almost the whole distance of the farm through centre of block. Messrs BrowBres., the local Auctioneers, of sound knowledge and repute, state that if the 300 acres of improved lancl were put upon the market, and cut up into dairy farms, it would fetch from £5 to 17 per acre, and for some of the sections £9 to £lO an acre.
