Coop in the 1860’s and has been farmed by the family ever since, and it is only on account of the winding up of the Estates that this most desirable grazing and fattening unit situated in this favourable and well held locality is being offered for sale. Over the years the surplus stock have been always very keenly sought after and have commanded top competition at annual ewe fairs and the Addington Stock Market. The property provides a wonderful balance of summer and winter country, is exceptionally well fenced and enjoys a well distributed rainfall. It is situated handy to township amenities and only one hour’s drive from Christchurch by first-class highway. During recent years a modest aerial topdressing programme has been undertaken and we feel confident that with further development and oversowing, stock numbers could be greatly increased. Plans, brochures and further details available from the joint auctioneers. INSPECTION STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT WITH THE AUCTIONEERS ONLY DALGETY AND N.Z.
