This property is . situated six miles from thriving township and railway station, aud consists of 1901 ACRES Freehold, and is a piece of'.as fine country as anyone could'wish to clap eyes on. The situation is exceedingly good, lying as it docs at the foot of the range; boing in this position it gets a far greater rainfill thaii the rest of tho district, and also has tho bonefit of tho perpetual ".wash-oil" tho hills—thus ensuring that tho soil is always being renewed. Thcro is a fine metalled road to the property. This property is known all over New Zealand for its famous fattening qualities. There is a very small frontage lo tho main road, but tho property widens out like a fan, ami thcro is a privato metalled road extending from the main road to tho house,, a distanco of ono mile, and this road leads right!through the fattening paddocks—thus '«:■J-iiy.: it larly,: easy i to. lay : off dniry farms—giviiig this road as an access. This road is fenced for the whole distanco both sides of tho road with eight wiro sheep-proof fencing. 700 Acres of this proporty was only felled and grassed lust year, and is a perfect picture, there being a magnificent sole of grass. Wo understand that 501b. of seed to the acre was sown on this bush burn, and wo never liavo iicon anyl'.iing finer than the result in all our experience. Under 200 Acres of bush-still remain be felled on the property in various clumps—the first piece being about 70 Acres. This is all valuable good bush.

The general lift of tho country is about 700 Acrcs , of. rich fattening flats on the frontage, anil theii "-there is a loir range of hills rising gradually off the flat to an avcrago height of about 100 ft' Thero arc three lagoons, several, hundred yards in length, on these table lands. Thpre is only one corner of the property.which could'be 1 described as hilly, and that consists of about 120 Acres, all of. which, however, is first-class sheep country. Tho formation on the flats is all a rich gray deposit, and the whole of this 'has been tile.drained. On the hills, thii formation is a rich chocolate loam, with a sort of. limestone and stone rubble running through it. Tho sheep have been on the place for 20 years, and this fact speaks for' itself. A good, portion of this place has been dniricd on : by, the. late owner, and on 1200 Acres he was carrying 150 dairy cows, 200 head of store cattliii and 2000 sheep. Wo think that this will satisfy as to the carrying capacity, and thero was ample feed-all-through tho winter. The ■ Stock; which aro now on the place, can be had:. at>-valuation. • '■ BUILDINGS. The, Buildings on this property are, exceptionally' good. There is a really fino modern 10-roomed house, having every convenience—hot and vjold water inside, w.c.'s, and every sanitary convenience that can be desired. There is "also 'another C-roomed house suitable for wdrking ilianager, or for anyone milking on shares, hud also another G-roomed house very much diit .of repair,' but which , would not take ■more-than .£IOO to-.put in order. These two buildings' would ■ be very useful if shifted on Mo other portions of the farm-in the. event of' it being, cut up. There is a remarkably fine shed, concrete floor, and exceptionally fine loft, which >vas originally built as a milking-shed, land contains ii bails.' This shed has the water laid on both sides, so that by turning a tap they could flush'tho whole shed with a powerful stream of water. This shed , has a lean-to stable for machinery, and the whole would make one of the- finest woolsheds to be seen' anywhere, with very little alteration. There is also another large cowshed (2-1 bails), and a' woolshcd with shearing machines installed, driven by turbine, thero being a, fine aiid perniiinont flow- of. wafer. The plantations roimd tho house are excellent and very numerous. There aro also largo . stables, and innumerable poultry yards and houses. There arc no noxious weeds on the. place that we aro aware of—not having come across any in the course of two or three visits there.

The position of this place must always be a great 'asset to it.- The markets aro at one's door—the goldfields on one side of Auckland, and the stock sales held .at Waihi are adthe most important in the Waikato; these yards are only a few miles from the property; It costs, 2il. per head to send fat sheop to' Auckland, and only a few shillings per nead for fat cattle. Wo havo no hesitation in saying that the man who buys this property has a big thing on, ejthcr to farm or sell again at a very handsome profit indeed. PRICE, £9 10s. PER ACRE.
