AUCTIONEER'S NOTE: ESKDALE is a first-class fattening and cropping property In the favourabily known Amur! district. It bounds the Culverden township and all its amenities, including a District High School and Railway Station close at hand. State highway No. 7, which runs to Hanmer, Lewis Pass, West Coast and Nelson, extends along the western side of this farm. There would be few properties of this nature offered for sale. Mr Stevenson gets high wool weights and lambing percentages, and there would be no doubt that this property could carry larger numbers of sheep. High producing lucerne stands are a feature of this farm and one stand over 30 years of age, is still giving excellent yields. The offering of “Eskdale” gives intending farm purchasers a grand opportunity to acquire a good farm in such a favourable district, and one producing excellent returns. STOCK: The purchaser will have the right to purchase the livestock at valuation on date of possession. POSSESSION DATE: 4th DECEMBER, 1964.
