AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: "TE MARA” is a part of the original "Springbank Station" known as Run 3, which was purchased by the present owner’s grandfather, the late Mr Robert Chapman, in 1853 and' has been in the owner’s family ever since. This is a first-class all-round producing unit which can be geared to the most profitable type of farming, including grazing, fattening, cropping and small seeds, yields up to 60 bushels of wheat have been harvested, and the average over a long period has been 40 bushels per acre. The improvements comprise an extensive range with 2 homes and are all in good order and repair With an attractive and pleasant setting. The property has been very conservatively farmed with a light stocking over a period and very little liming and topdressing has been carried out, and we feel sure that with an increased use of lime and topdressing the carrying could be considerably increased.
