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. There is now a Government Advance Department mortgage of £300 on the property, the balance can easily be arranged. Not heavy cash deposit being asked. MACKESY & SON REAL ESTATE AGENTS, < WHANGAEEI. f
