Each of the buildings has a drainage system of the most complete character, and the property throughout in every detail bears the impress of large and judicious expenditure. It is safe to soy 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.

The Wniwetu river forms the boundary line at the back, and with the natural bush on either side, there exists a series of bosky dells of rare charm. From a purely business aspect, the properly would make an admirable nursery and market garden. There is a fortune in it in these refunds for an energetic, capable man. The paddocks will let at an annual rental of A 8 per acre, and the orchard, vinery and hot-honse alone would pay the annual interest on the whole purchase money. The property is close to the well-known suburban residence of Mr John Duthie, and is surrounded by the beautiful homes of many well-known settlers.
