In addition, the hulk of the remainder can easily be broken up. Of the Leasehold, none of which is high country, 8150 acres is held under Pastoral Lease, expiring in. about nine years, with the very low annual rental of £51, and 1632 acre»s under Lease in Perpetuity, at the nominal annual rental 0f. £15 (a gift). The country is well covered with silver tussock and good natural grasses, and on« a wide area cocksfoot and_ clovers, surface sown, have grown splendidly. The property is exceedingly well sheltered, and the whole of it is ffcrst-rate lambing ground. The fences are all in gdod order, and subdivisions have been made for • the convenient working of the stock. There are ,two complete Homesteads, the buildings on the Warwick Block consisting of a large new Dwelling-house with modern conveniences, new woolshed and stable, and other buildings, while the buildings on the Dipton Block consist of a 6-roomed Dwelling, woolshed, stable, and other buildings, all in good order. It is the Vendor's intention to sell in one lot as a going concern, but failing a -reasonable price being offered, the Property will be offered in two lots, which is rendered convenient by the Otapiri Stream running through the middle of the property and making an excellent division, and, further, by there being a complete Homestead on each block, as above mentioned. The areas of the two lots will be as follow: — LOT 1.-HOMESTEAD BLOCK. 5283 ACRES FREEHOLD 8150 ACRES PASTORAL LEASE. Homestead distant five miles from Otapiri P.O. and 12 miles from Centre Bush Railway Station. LOT 2.— DIPTON BLOCK. 5098 -ACRES FREEHOLD 1632 ACRES LEASE IN PERPETUITY. Homestead distant three miles and a-half from Dipton P. 0., School, and Railway Station. In the event of the Property being sold in two lots, the Stock will not be included, but sold later by auction. As Mr Mitchell has purchased a Property in the North Island, it is his serious intention to sell, and. the Auctioneers, with the knowledge that this Property is one of the best of its kind in Southland! and that it is being offered for GENUINE SALE, strongly recommend those on the Jook-oufc for a good and profitable investment to inspect.
