It is safe to say that no property in the Hutt Valley looks better or is in more perfect order. Looking at the property from a purely residential standpoint it has many special advantages. It is within a_ few minutes ride of the Lower Hutt Railway Station. It is embowered amidst a belt of beautiful trees, winch give the most complete shelter, while no flood has ever touched the property.

From a purely business aspect, the property would make an admirable nursery and market garden. There is a fortune in 4 in these respects for an energetic, capable man. The paddocks will let at an annual rental of .£8 per acre, and the orchard, vinery and hot-house aloue would pay the annual interest on the whole purchase money.
