Benmore is situated on the main line of railway from Invercargill to Kingston, about 32 mil« s from tho former place. The lice j Bkirtß the property, and there is a railway Btation within half a mile of the homestead. The land consists mostly of excellent agricultural soil, suitable for the growth of any description of grain and other crops, andean, withtheexception of a small portion, be all ploughed. Good roads intersect the estate, and with railway communication close by the position is rendered an admirable one for the dispatch of produce to market. Benmore is surrourded by valuable properties, all being rapidly brought into a high state of cultivation, and since the productive nature of the soil in the district has become so well-known, the demand for land in the locality is constantly increasing, with a corresponding advance in value. The leasehold, consisting of about 16,000 acres, having four years to run, at the Government rent, will be divided similarly to the freehold, each purchaser obtaining a piece of country of about same extent. The leasehold will be given in, and as it is all commanded by the freehold blocks, the buyers of these will be placed iv the atlvau tagooua position of rctainiug occupation herejftiter alniost on their own teims.
