AUCTIONSI THE FARMERS' PUBLIC AUCTION PUBLIC AUCTION OUTSTANDING LANSDOWNE PROPERTY 43 ACRES 2 ROODS 25 PERCHES ON ACCOUNT OF THE TRUSTEES IN THE ESTATE OF THE LATE A. J. BIRDLING IN THE FARMERS’ LAND SALES ROOM, CASHEL ST.. CHRISTCHURCH, ON DECEMBER 12. 1962. AT 230 P.M. WE have received instructions from the Trustees in the Estate of the late Arthur J. Birdling to offer by Public Auction the most desirable grazing and cropping farm situated at Lansdowne. SITUATION: 8 miles from Christchurch, with 28 chain frontage to the main ChchAkaroa highway, approximately 48 cnain frontage to the Old Tai Tapu road, and backs on to the Halswell river. IMPROVEMENTS—HOMESTEAD: 2 bedrooms, sunroom, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Weatherboard with tile roof. Modern and recently redecorated inside and out. OUTBUILDINGS: There are several older type sheds which could be used for . Implement and hay storage. LAND: The land is recognised as some of the best in Canterbury, capable of growing high yields of most crops and ideally suited for heavy grazing and dairying. PASTURE: Apart from approximately 4 acres of mainly mature bluegum trees the property is all in grass. AUCTIONEERS’ NOTE: This property was taken over by the late A J. Birdling before the turn of the century and is well known as a Canterbury landmark. There has not been any cropping carried out since the First World War and the fertility of the land must be almost unlimited. For many years only cattle have been run, but there would be no doubt with some little development cropping would show lucrative returns. The Homestead is in a delightful setting of shrubs and trees and is approached by an attractive tree lined drive. Situated as it is this property must have a good potential, and anyone wishing to acquire a holding with character and potential should not miss the opportunity to inspect.
