ON THE EPSOM 110A11. Tho subscriber has been favoured with instructions from tho proprietor, H. 1' 1.T.1a, Esq., of Epsom, to sell by auction, at tho land mart, Fort-stroot, on Tuesday, 19th December. THE RESIDENCE AND LANDS OF WINDERMERE. This delightfully situated freehold ostato comprises about four and a quarter acres of rich volcanic soil upon a d< cp clay subsoil, laid down in English grassos, woll supplied with water and in a high state of cultivation. Tho proporty throuchout is largoly ornamented by plantation. A noblo avenue, leading from a well appointed entrance, and studded with choico and valuable trees of advanced growth, winds through tho principal grounds to tho house, whence a magnificent viow of tho sea and surrounding country is obtained.

The houso itself all but new, of great strength adn solidity of construction, litis a foundation and basemont of scoria, and ia roofed with slale, pointed with mortar. Its dimensions ate 42 feot by 3G, with 12 feet ceiling on both floors. There aro two principal fronts surrounded by an osplunado and parapet, approached by ea«y stepß on either side. The ground floor contains entrance hall, 9 feet 6 by 24 feet. A dining room and drawing room, each 15 feet G by 17 feet 6, furnished with register stoves.

A magnificent AVICLL occupies tho centro of tho yard, affording an inoxbaustiblo 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 pure water is felt to bo an inestimablo, if not an indispenßablo treasure, bearing so dircctly, as it does, upon tho health and comfort of tho household ; but in a district whero such .a boon i* a novelty indeed, the advantage of this grand qualification of a healthy home, it inay be stated with confidence, can hardly bo overrated. It romaius to be pointed out that this coinplclo proporty has considerable frontago to tho main road from Auckland to tho Manukau and the West Coast, and on which, for the distance, the largest traffic in Now Zealand is now daily conducted.

A lif.ihvay Station will be close in the vicinity. Omnibuses pass hourly to tho city on tho ono hand, and to Onehuntja on tho other, uft'ording every facility to tho residents in tho neighbourhood whether for bu»incs9 or pleasure, relieving tho locality of tho sameness nnd oppressive senso of loneliness which renders other suburban districts so irksomo to tho inhabitants. It has also a largo frontage to Brownstreet, leading to tho Auckland Hundreds, from which it is readily accessible, and whoro it is capablo of subdivision at anv time into allotments suitable for building sites ui' great prospective value. To meet the wishes of intending purchasers desiring an oxtontion of tho property, A TWO-ACRE PADDOCK, with tho sarao frontage, immediately adjoining tho above, and commanding a view which for boauty and extent is unsurpassed in tho Province, will be sold at tho same timo, in a separate lot. Also, A PADDOCK AT THE REAR, Containing about 3 acres of choice grazing land* Both lots liavo the commar.il of water, and afford excellent and abundant feed at all seasons. Tho Proporty is for Positive Sale. SAMUEL COCHRANE, Auctioneer. PRELIMINARY NOTICE.
