AUCTIONEERS’ NOTE: The public auction of “Burnt Hill” places on the open market one of the most attractive and appealing properties to have been offered in Canterbury for many years. The property is practically all clean, sweet stock country, with a portion suitable for cash cropping. The potential on both the flats and the hill is considerable and the siting and nature of existing improvements especially the subdivisions, are right up to the best standard. Stocking has been very conservative, and whilst Immediate good returns are available to the purchaser, there is still a great potential left in the property, especially per _ medium of beef cattle which are not carried at present. . . „ _ A portion of “Burnt Hill” is used by the Oxford Collie Club and it has been the scene of New Zealand Championship Dog Trials. We believe that “Burnt Hill" must appeal to any purchaser looking for a high producing unit, with a full and adequate range of improvements, yet one with considerable further potential and definite subdivisional possibilities.
