Less than three miles from Gisborne Post Office, within a few hundred yards of Mangapapa Store, the regular motor 'bus service and school ; below Lytton Road; a few minutes from future tram service. Area: Ten Acres, With 10 chains Road Frontage and 5 ohaina Frontage to River. Description : The land consists of two terraces, the top one of about 6 acres, on which the residence is built, being always dry m the (wettest season, and ideal building land; the lower part of 4 acres is the very richest black soil m Poverty Bay ; one acre of this is under lucerne, giving plenty of feed m dry years; nearly an aore m orchard, 7.year-old" trees; and vegetable garden; the rest being under grass. A feature of the property is the magnificent pine belt, which^ with finelygrown, hedges and shade trees, provide shelter from winds, and an ample supply of firewood. The orchard is drained to the river by underground pipes, which also carry away surplus surface water and septic taiik overflow. The Residence is a handsome dwelling, constructed of heart of rimu from the Hawke's Bay hills, designed by Natusch, architect, and erected by Glendinning, of North. It is perfectly sound and m first-class order, being only 10 years old, oontains 9 main rooms — 6 bedrooms, m three of which are fireplaces and all fitted with large built-in wardrobes, . dining-room, 26 s 16 feet, drawing-room, both connected with wide hall by sliding doors, wliich enable the whole to b© thrown into one ; hall with handsome staircase; kitchen with range, supplying hot water to both storeys ; other interior conveniences being linen presses, large pantries, scullery and maids' cupboard, w.c. connected with septic tank, new acetylene gas generator. The outbuildingß, which are connected by concreted yard, comprise washhouse, with three tubs and copper built m, office, .wood and coal sheds. There are also two motor and buggy sheds, with brick floors, 4-stall stable, cowshed, hay she.d, fowl houses and rune; m fact, every possible convenience. Tlie dwelling is insured for £1500 and the outbuildings for £100. To erect them today would cost probably £3600. The Water Supply is especially good, there being two 2500---gallon tanks,' 1 a 1300-gallon cistern. 400, 600, 800-ga_.lpn tanks : a total rain-water supply of 8100 gallons. There is also a windmill that through a 600-galloil tank supplies the septic tank service and also the stock and garden with spring water. The Price is Only £4750. It was £5250, but ac Colonel Winter is not now able to look after the place as it requires, ho reduced the figure for a quick sale. Terms arranged to suit. W^ien it is considered that tlie average Eric© of sectjons m the immediate neighorhood is £150 per quarter-acre, or £600 per acre, it will be eden that this place is exceptionally cheap at £450 an acre, with about £3000 worth of improvements thrown m. As a homo for a retired sheepfarmer there is no better property m Poverty Bay ; he can keep a couple of cows, a horse or two, and a few killers for his own house use, while living m a private and picturesque spot — for the residence commands a lovely view, being handy to town and school and to the amenities of civilisation, which "Years of work m the back-blocks entitle iirra to. But if buying as -a speculation be any consideration, there is good prospective value here, for the trains must eventually go across Lytton Road and pass within a few hundred yards of this property, which, -would then cut up to advantage. Meanwhile, it is an ideal home. A caud to view can be liad' from — G. G. BLOORE.
