This property would make a most excellent orchard, if dairying is not fancied, and being so very near the new railway, great facilities are offered in getting the fruit direct to Auckland markets. This farm comprises one of the most promising little properties we have to offer just now, and will always be an attractive seller. Price, £2100.
