Thu delightfully Eituted freehold cstato comprises about four and a quarter aens of rich volcanic soil upon a d cp clay .subsoil, laid down in linglish grasses, well supplied with water and in a high state of cltirntion. The property throughout is largely ornamented by plantation. A noble avenue, leading from a well appointed entrance, and studded wich choice and valuable trees of advanced growth, wi ids through tho principal grounds to the houfc, whon-o a magnificent view of tho sea and surrounding country is obtained.

Tho houce itself al! but new, of great stronpth adn solidity of construction, has a foundation and basement of scoria, and is roofed with s-hite, pointed with mortar. Its dim. iisk.us uio 42 feet by 36, with 12 feet ceiling on b ith tloors. There aro two principal fronts surrounded by an esplanade and parapet, approached by ea*y steps on either side. . Tho Kiound floor contains entrance ball, 9 foet 6 by 24 feet. A dining room and drawing room, each 15 feet (5 by 17 feet 0, furnished with register stoves. There is nl*oonthia floor alareo bedroom, kitchen, pnntry, staircase, back door portico, and second hall On the first floor aro three large bedrooms, two dressing rooms, iind a drawing room uufurnished, 22 feet by 18.

Water is laid on to the kitchen, which is also furnished with a slop sink, and new patent cooking range only about 18 mon hsin u*o. Therearo fmrstacksofchimneys,containingeight fireplaces on the premises, which, with the spacious yard, are drained underground without, provision also being made for interior wator-closeta and bathroom, in accordance with plan. Tho out-offices comprito stable for four lmrses, pnvol in scoria and drained, with hay loft and harness room;—coach house, tool room, potatoo i-toro, lumber shed, waterclosets, fowl houses, poultry yards, and servants' looms, detached, the whole enclosed by a good 6 feet cl"so paled fence, and planted with trees on tho insido. A magnificent WICLL occupies tho centre of tho yard, affording an inexhaustible supply of pure spring water at all seasons. To this lost item tho Auctioneer feels bound to draw especial attention. In any locality an abundant supply of puro water is felt to bo an inestimable, if not an indispensable treasure, bearing eo directly, as it does, upon thn health and comfort of tho household ; but in a district where such a boon U a novelty indeed, the advantage of this grand qualification of a healthy home, it may be stated with confidence, can hardly bo overrated. It remains to bo pointed out that this complole property has considerable frontago to tho main road from AuckKnd to tho Manukau and the- West Coast, and on which, fur the distance, tho largest traffic in Now Zealand is now daily conducted. A Rhilway Station will bo close in tho -vicinity. Omnibuses pass hourly to tho city on the one hand, and to Oiiehungu ■ n the other, affording every facility to the residents m tho neighbourhood whether for business or pleasure, relieving the locality of the sameness ancl oppressive sense of loneliness which renders other suburban districts so irksome to tho inhabitants. It has also a large frontage to Brownstreet, loading to tho Auckland Hundreds, from which it is readily aecessiblo, and where it is capablo of subdivision at any time into allotments suitable for building sites of great prospective valuo. To meet tho wishes of intending purchasers desiring an oitention of tho property, A TWO-ACRE PADDOCK, with the samo frontago, immediately adjoining the above, and commanding a view which for beauty and extent is unsurpassed in the Province, will be sold at tho same time, in a separate lot. Also, A PADDOCK AT THE REAR, Containing about 3 acres of choice grazing land. Both lots have tho command of -water, and afford excellent and übundaut feed at all seasons. Tho Property is for Positive Salo. Tekms.—One-fourth cash on the fall of the hammer; one-fourth prommissory note nt three months, with interest added at 10 per cont.; the remaining half can remaiu on mortgage for ono or two years, boaring interest at the rate of 10 por cent, per annum.
