Benjamin Smith anh Co., to offer for sale, by PUBLIC AUCTION, at his rooms, Lambton-quay, on Tuesday, the 15th of December, at 2 o’clock, that magnificent property in the Wairarapa district, known as the BELVEDERE SAW AND FLOUR MILLS. This valuable estate is situate at the Taratahi, Wairarapa, a few miles from Greytown, and about sixty miles from Wellington. The PROPOSED LINE OF RAILWAY. Is laid off within about fifteen chains of the Mills, and 'it is anticipated that a Station will Ire placed in close proximity. At present there is a good metalled road up to the Mills. The Freehold consists of 1160 Acres of splendid Totara bush, with a fair sprinkling of pines ; it is allowed by competent judges to be THE FINEST TOTARA BUSH in the Wairarapa, and is estimated to contain sufficient timber to keep the present mill in work for a QUARTER OF A CENTURY, cutting from nine to ten thousand feet per day. The land when cleared is admirably adapted for agricultural purposes. The Saw Mill is one of the most complete in the province, worked by engines combining 40 horse-power. The Flour Mill is worked by water-power, and is furnished with machinery of the most approved description. Both mills are in full working order. The buildings on the land, in addition to the mill houses, comprise blacksmith’g shop, two comfortable dwelling-houses, six cottages for workmen, five-stalled stable, &C., &c. Taking into consideration the great and increasing demand for Totara in this and the other Provinces, and the facilities which will shortly be available for transporting it to Wellington by rail at a moderate charge, the auctioneer can confidently recommend this property to the attention of capitalists as one that will most surely realise an ample return for amount invested. Further particulars will be furnished on application, at the offices of B. S. and Co., or the Auctioneer, Lambton-quay, Wellington. Title : Crown grant, and early possession can be given. LAND SALE.
