This delightfully situated freehold estate comprises • about four and a quarter acres of rich volcanic soil upon a deep clay eubsoi], laid down in English grasses, well supplied with water and in a high etato of cultivation. The property throughout is largely ornamented by plantation. A noble avenue, leading from a well appointed entrance, and studded with choice and valuable trees of advanced growth, winds through the principal grounds to the houee, whence a magnificent view of the sea and surrounding country 13 obtained. The house itself all but new, of great strength adn solidity of construction, has a foundation and basement of scoria, and is roofed with slate, pointed with mortar. Its dimensions aie 42 feet by 3G, with 12 feet coiling on both iloora. There are two principal fronts surrounded by an esplanade and parapet, approached by easy steps on cither side.

A magnificent WELL occupies the centre of tho yard, affording an inoxhaustible supply of pure spring water at all seasons. To this last item the Auctioneer feels bound to draw especial attention. In any locality an abundant supply of puro wator is felt to bo an inestimable, if not an indispensable treasure, bearing so directly, as it does, upon tho health and comfort of the household ; but in a district where such a boon is a novelty indeed, tho advantage of this grand qualification of a healthy home, it may bo stated with confidence, can hardly be overrated. It remains to bo pointed out that this complete property has considcrablo frontage to the main road from Auckland to tho Manukau and the West Coast, and on which, for tho distance, the largest traffic in New Zealand is now daily conducted. A Rsilway Station will bo closo in the vicinity. Omnibuses pass hourly to tho city on tho one hand, and to Onehunga on the other, affording every facility to tho residents in tho neighbourhood whether for business or pleasure, relieving tho locality of tho sameness unci oppressive sense of loneliness which renders other suburban districts so irksome to the inhabitants. It has ulsO a largo frontage to Brownstreot, loading to the Auckland Hundreds, from which it is readily aceessiblo, and whero it is capable of subdivision at any time into allotments suitable for building sites of great prospective value. To meet tho wishes of intending purchasers desiring an oxtention of the property, A TWO-ACRE PADDOCK, with tho samo frontage, immediately adjoining the above, and commanding a view which for beauty and extent is unsurpassed in the Province, will be sold at the same timo, in a separate lot.
