AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: This neat, compact unit has been farmed by the McLaughlin family for almost 60 years. The district with a 35 inch rainfall and good medium soils is recognised as some of the best cropping and healthiest sheep country in Canterbury, several of the farms in the neighbourhood being stud units. A feature of this property is the high standard of the improvements, buildings, etc., and an intending buyer would have little expense in the near future; the main homestead in particular has been well designed and built with the very best of materials. Mr McLaughlin has planted and double fenced all the road frontage and several internal fence lines with Deodaras, Arizonicas, etc., to good effect. This unique offering presents an opportunity for discriminating buyers to acquire a farm in one of the best known cropping and fattening districts of Canterbury.
