We have pleasure in making the announcement that the owners of this estate have instructed us to place the property on the market in subdivision into areas of 85 acre* to 1730—about seven lots in all, affording an excellent opportunity for those on the look out for good all-round agricultural country—especially for those who are prepared to become suppliers to the dairy factory which was recently completed, and is now running with a fairly large supply of milk daily. The estate i* well watered, and has three and a quarter mile* frontage to the Clutha river. The fences and gate* are all in fine order. The climate is perfection, and is perhaps somewhat better than is generally obtained in Canterbury. There ia also a good average rainfall. Two separate telephone exchange* and Post Office will shortly be completed on the property, and the s.s. Clyde bring* and takes away goods at slightly less than railway rates. School and churches are within reasonable walking distance of the property.
