New Advertisements. ' J SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 15, 1879, At 2 o'clock. At Club Hotel, Invercargill. To Dairy Farmers, Breeders of Prize Stock, Speculators, and Others. MAGNIFICENT SUBURBAN FARMS . AT INVERCARGILL. TTENRY DRIVER (In conjunction with Messrs M* Ardell and Co. , Invercargill) has received instructions from the Proprietor, who is leaving the Colony, to offer for sale, in the Long Room, Southland Club Hotel, Invercargill, on Saturday, 15th February, at 2 o'clock, THE WEST PLAINS ESTATE OF 1100 ACRES. This property is situated at a distance of four miles from Invercargill, and is without doubt, the choicest suburb of that rapidly rising town, within a mile of the Waikiwa Station on the Invercargill and Kingston Railway. It comprises an area of 1100 acres, the soil being a rioh chocolate loam on a limestone formation. The whole Estate is perfectly free from floods. Surrounded with forest, and subdivided by hedges, it is thoroughly sheltered, and is well known in the district for its early and luxuriant growth of grass, cereals, and root crops. The West Plain is similar in character and appearance to the Valley of the Hutt, Wellington, by which only is it equalled in the Colony. This Estate was originally bush land, cleared and cultivated some 17 years ago, and divided by live fences into 100-acre farms, subdivided into numerous paddocks, having seven excellent dwellings, barns, stables, cattle-3heds for hand-feed-ing dairy or fat cattle, together with other necessary out-offices, and splendid orchards with a great variety of fruit trees in full bearing. The whole Estate is laid down in a rotation of English grass, cereals, and turnips, and the high class farming under which it has been conducted will commend itself to anyone understanding the same on paying it a visit of inspection. The property will be sold, as already subdivided, in lots of 100 acres ; and as it is in many respects a specialty, a personal inspection is solicited. The Auctioneers have every confidence in recommending this estate as suited for choice suburban residences, or as farms for raising prize stock, for which it is preeminently adapted. The following unprecedentedly easy terms of payment will be allowed : — 10 per cent. cash. 10 per cent, six months. 10 per cent, twelve months. 70 per cent, five years With 8 per cent, interest added. For further particulars, apply to the N. Z. L. & M.
