FOUR SEOTIONS IN THE KAUPOKONUI SURVEY DISTRICT, CONTAINING 1250 acres, Of which about 860 acres are felled 'grassed, and partly fenced : — Sco 6, Blook v, 812 alr 26p, Perpetual Lease Seo. 7, Blook v, 315 a2r 14p, Perpetual Lease Sco 11, Blook v, 805 aOr Op, Perpetual Lease Sco 12, Blook v, 820 aOr Op, Freehold Having decided upon leaving Manaia shortly, I am offering the above seotions separately or together, and either for cash or on easy terms, at a very low price in order to ensure a sale. The Blook (V.) lies between the Auroa and Eiri Roads and just above the Opunake-Stratford Road, inland of Otakeho and Pihama. Nearly the whole is level and of good quality, the greater portion of it being superior to muoh of the land in the more settled parts of the district. Portions of the land are wet, but have a good drainage. It is estimated that three-fourths of the whole is good, dry, level, or slightly undulating land, oapable of being converted into oapital pasture. For raising young stook, bred in the bush or for 18-months-old cattle from the open, the land is well adapted, and will, with ordinary management, return a handsome profit on outlay. In a year or so the land will carry a large herd of dairy stook The greater part of the improvements is on Sebtion 11 and 12 (Auroa Road), where about 250 acres are grassed and mostly fenced. The land is now easily accessible on the east by the Auroa Road and on the west by the Eiri Road, both of which are metalled to within a few j chains of the boundary, whilst the { Oeo Road, which is metalled as far as the Opunake Road, will afford an outlet for the central portions as soon as the upper part of the road is stumped and formed.* When present contract is completed, a buggy might be driven from the railway line to within a quarter of a mile of the land. To a man with, say, £8000 to £4000 to fell and grass the land and atook it, there should be a fortune at the price placed on it. To a man with only a small oapital the present affords an opportunity of getting, say, from 200 acres upwards, and improving it by degrees. Plans of the land and further information may be obtained on application. * GEORGE A. HURLEY, Land Agent, Manaia.
