The Hearn's Bay Estate is in the market only because - Mr. and Mrs. Hearn are leaving the colony to make their future home in America. It must therefore be an absolute sale in every tense. This sale gives an opportunity to the family man or tho -bachelor to secure a seaside cottage ready furnished for a less sum than he would bo required to pay for tho land alone. Each section of land with the furnished cottage will be put up at an upset price of £150, and a deposit of £25 will purchase it, with immediate possession, and the balance on terms at 5£ per cent, interest. Tho fortunate purchaser will thus have a furnished house nnd- nearly a quarter of an acre of land for an annual interest charge on his pur-chase-money of a month's rental. Who will heßitato to purchase a seaside home at such a price and on such terms? They are extraordinary and unique, and only possible because Mr. Hearn must leave the colony at an early date. The land on which the cottages and othpr buildings stand was tho first purchase made from the " Messrs. Crawford, and Mr. Hearn secured tho beautiful halfmoon bay, with a wide stretch of sandy beach, now known as Hearn's Bay, the very pick of the basket., Far inferior land is selling at £6 per foot, and tho market value of this portion of tho Marine Parade is estimated at £10 per foot. The speoial development in the Borough of Miramar in which this properly is situated is best revealed by the fact that the value of the borough has risen during the last five years from £33,648 to £340,878. Although repeated requests havo been made to rent the cottages for the summer season, they have been kept vacant so that purchasers caa have possession the morning after sale.
