■. LAND NOTICES. . EAST & >A S t f , 'WELLINGTON.: ''"*■ 1J AUCKLAND DISTRICT. . PARTICULARS OF THAMES VALLEY-.,., FARM. v ' ;,, 1001 ACRES—.£9 10?., PER ACRE. '>.., ~' r . n '. B property is situated si* miles from thriving; township and railway station, and consists pf 1901 ACRES Freehold, and is a piece of as fine country as anyone could wish to clan eyes on. The situation is exceedingly food, lying as it does at the' foot of the ranges being m this position it gets a far greater ramtall than the rest of the district, and also has imi 2? efit ot the Perpetual "wash-off".-the' mils—thus ensuring .that tho 6oil is always peing renewed. There is a fine metalled'road to the property. This property is known all over New land for its famous fattehing'qualities. There |f a very,, small frontage, to the.main road; put tho property widens out like a fan, and there is a private metalled road extending from the fmain road to the house, a distance pf one mile, and this road leads right through the fattening paddocks—thus making it oari'Milarlv easy to lay off dairy farms-giving this road ah an access. This road is fenced for the.whole distance both .sides' of the road with eight wire sheep-proof fencing.700 Acres of this property..-was only felled and grassed last year, and is a'perfect'picture, there being a magnificent sole of grass. We understand that 501b.-of seed to the acre was sown'on this bush burn, and we never have seen any!'.ing finer than tho result in all our experience. .Under -200 Acres of bush still remain to be Jelled on the property in; various clumps—the' first piece being about 70 Acres.. This is all valuable good bush. " The general lib of the country is about 700 Acres of rich'fattening fiats on'the frontage, and then there is a low range of hills rising gradually off the flat to'ah average height of 1 about 100 ft There aro three lagoons, several hundred yards in length, on these table lands. ■ There is .only one corner-of the property which could be described as hilly, and' that consist* of about 120 Acres, all of which) however, is first-class sheep country. The formation on the flats is all a rich gray deposit, and the whole of this country has been tile drained. On tho hills, the formation is a rich chocolate loam, with a-sort of limestone and stone" rubble running through.it. The sheep have been on>the place for 20 years, and this fact speaks for itself. A good portion of this place has been d;.irie<i on by-the late owner, and on 1200 Acres he was carrying 150 dairy cows, 200 h'ead : 'of storb cattle," and 2000 sheep. Wo think that this will satisfy as to tho carrying capacity, and there was ample feed all through-the winter. Tho Stock, which are now on the place, can be had at valuation. - BUILDINGS. :: Tho Buildings on this property are exceptionally good. Thero is a really'fine modern 10-roomed house, Jiaving every and cold'water inside, w.c.'s,. and every eani« tary convenience that can be desired.'' There is also another G-roomed house suitable -for working manager, or for. anyone milking'ionshares, and also another 6-roomed house very much out of repair, but which would not take inoro than ,£IOO to put inorder. These, two buildings would bo very useful if shifted on to other portions of tho farm in tho event of - it being cut up. There- is a remarkably fine shed,, concrete floor, and exceptionally fine loft, which was originally built as a milking-shed, and. contains U bails." This shed has the water, laid on'both, sides,-so that by turning.'a-tap ' they could flush the whole 6hed with a powerful stream of water. This shed, ha>i.a lean-to! stable for machinery, and the.. whole woulpt / mako one of the finest woolshedsi-.to 'bo' seen anywhere, with very little, alteration.. Thero is also another largo cowshed-(2i bails), and a woolshed with shearing:'machines-in-stalled, driven by turbine, thero-being a'fine and permanent flow of water: . The.plantations round; the house are excellent and very numerous.. .'.There are also large stables, and innumerable poultry yards' and houses. "Thero aro tlo noxious weeds oil the place, that fro are. award" of—not having come across' any in the course of two or three visits there:.

Tho position of this place must always bo a great asset to it. -The markets- are .at ono'g door—the goldfields. on one side of Auckland, and tho stock sales" held at Waihi' are adniittedly the most important in,the Waikato; these yards are only .a fow miles from tho property.
