Auctioneer’s Comments: The offering of the “Otahuna Partnership” holding presents buyers, whether they be stock breeders or city businessmen, with an unique opportunity to acquire this exceptional Sheep and Cattle Grazing Property situated practically on the outskirts of Christchurch City and handy to all markets. It originally comprised part of the well known “Otahuna” property which was taken up in 1894 and farmed by the late Sir Heaton Rhodes until its acquisition by the Crown for the settlement of Returned Servicemen under the Rehabilitation Scheme. This auction is “the first time ever” the property has been offered for Public Sale. The 160 acres of Fertile Arable Flats and the perfect balance of Early Sunny Hill Country and the colder faces which produce excellent Summer Feed make this property the ideal grazing unit. From the days of Sir Heaton Rhodes with his prize-winning Red Poll Cattle and Corriedale Sheep, the property has always been renowned for its production of the highest quality Stock and Wool (in the 1978, September Wool Sale our Vendors offering of Perendale Wool topped the market). The present condition of the Sheep and Cattle clearly highlights the quality of the Stock this holding produces. Further development of the property could still greatly increase the Stock carrying capacity. With its high production of top quality Stock, the added potential of increased Stock numbers and today’s emphasis being on costs, it would be ] difficult to find a more handily situated, desirable property which could be i operated at as low a cost as the “Otahuna Farm Partnership” holding. i We, the Auctioneers, have every confidence in recommending this out- | standing property to any intending Purchaser. Stock and Plant: May be taken over at Valuation at the date of Possession. > Vendor’s Solicitor: Messrs C. V. Quigley and Sons, Christchurch. ' Conditions of Sale: i Will be available from the Auctioneers or the Vendors’ Solicitors. Inspection: ■ Strictly by appointment with the Auctioneers only. Folio C 584.
