MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD ESTATE, WAIKONINI. 11,760 ACRES RICH LAND, OUT UP INTO CONVENIENT AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL FARMS AT NAPIER, HAWKE'S BAY. MR M. R. MILLER Has received instructions from* Messrs Rhodes and Shield (in consequence of ap< proaching dissolution of partnership) to Bell by public auction at the Criterion Hotel, Napier, on THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1879, At 11 a.m. sharp, All that rich and beautifully situated, really first-class Freehold Estate known as WAIKONINI, situate on the Tutaekuri River, 24 miles from Napier by the Taradale Road, and 25 miles from Hastings. - rriHIS ESTATE altogether comprises JL 11,760 acres rich Arable and Pasture Lands, the whole fenced and subdivided into blocks of various sizes aB catalogued under, the large blocks containing paddocks of various sizes. The divisions nave been made with great care and judgment, each containing a never-failing supply of water, and of easy dray access. This being part of the Tunanui Estate was selected about four years ago by Mr Shield, who since the day it was acquired has unremittingly attended to its development, in which neither capital nor labor has been spared, and jwith surprisingly satisfactory results ; the' land which was then under slj£ong fern is now thoroughly broken in, and for the ' most part sown with choioest varieties of English grass seeds; a few paddocks have been ploughed and now show orops of oats and barley, while the bulk of ,the estate ik unquestionable first-class wheat land. The character of the soil generally is rich deep loam on strong olay subsoil, limestone and papa formation, undulating downs and plains, numerous creeks and tributaries afford abundant water in the driest seasons, atfd small clumps of natural bush not only bAantify the country, but aIBO yield abundanT firewood ; there is also a good natural road to the Puketitiri Forest, distant 10 miles. The earlier broken land will now winter a minimum of three sheep per acre. The whole estate should do this within two more years were grass alone depended upon, but with the aid of mangolds or rape, for which the soil has proved to be admirably adapted, many more could be carried. Block 1 contains 506 acres, with two cultivation paddocks and out station hut ; remainder of land sown with grass seeds. Block 2 contains 484 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 3 contains 326 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 4a contains 565 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 4b contains 830 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 5 contains 1342 acres. On this block is situated the sheep yards, cultivation and grass paddocks Blocks 6 contains 440 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 7 contains 828 acres sown with rass seed. Block 8 contains 1820 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 9 contains 1760 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 10a contains 1556 acres sown with grass seeds. Block 10b contains 1215 acres. In this block are also contained the Dwelling house, Garden, Orchard, Offices, Stables, Huts, Blacksmith's Shop, Wool-Bhed, Yards, and numerous Paddocks ; also considerable belts of plantation and forest trees. The larger blocks could be divided, if necessary, between two er more buyers ; . but the present arrangement of area has "been made with a view to satisfy the requirements of all classes. The dividing fences are most substantial and all in excellent order j the roads are good, and there would be no engineering difficulty whatever informing a branch railway. The climate of this part is most enjoyable. It has every advantage of locality, lying about equidistant from the Buahine Ranges •on the west, ' and the sea-coast on the east ; it iis indeed not only one of the most beautifully situated, but also for soil, one of the choicest in the Northern Island, and only under peculiar' circumstances is thus placed in the market. Terms, very liberal, viz, :— -Ten per cent, cash ; ten per cent, in six months ; five per cent, in 12 months ; and five per cent, in 24 months ; balance in three equal instalments in 3, 5, and 7 years, , bearing interest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum.
