Geutle Annie and Smithfield Downs blocks contain also a large extent of lands ploughed and laid down in grass, but it is not within the limit of an advertisement to describe each of the blocks that will be sold. The “cutting-up” of this estate will be of immense advantage to this district, the present owners having consented to this course as a step toward realising on the whole of this magnificent property, rendered necessary- by the death of one of the partners. Although Rissington Estate is so well known locally; it is not out of place to state that it commences about 18 miles west from Napier. The lands, though varied in feature, are rich and on limestone formation, abundantly watered by springs and ever-running streams. The whole freehold comprises about 74,000 acres, on which, though large sums have been expended in improvements, instructions are to put such a very moderate re.-erve on the portions offered (which include the longest improved lands) as must ensure sale. There are about 1000 cattle and 90,000 sheep and lambs now on the estate, the greater portion of which will be sold after the land sale, and will enable buyers to stock readily.
