This property is all fenced snd subdivided into four psddocka, well watered, well cleared, and surface sown with English grasses. There are three patches of native bush on the property, sufficient for years to come to supply fencing material and fuel to the proprietor. A considerable area of the land is arable, but has never been cultivated yet. Th:s portion cf the estate is well adapted for the growth of wheat, oats, barley, turnips, and rape, and if it wa4 brought under the plough would mate-rially increase the carrying capacity oi the place, besides greatly adding to its revenueearning power. In its present natural s^ate this property carries 4000 firstclass crossbred sheep. The Auctioneers consider the purchase cf this property by a practical man having a fair Rtnount of capital will prove a first-class investment. It is distant from railway communication only one mile, and owing to its proximity to Dunedin it should have a special value, for, hs is well known, holders of land close to a city can always take full advantage cf the markets.
