Good roads intersect the estate, and, with railway communication close by, the position is rendered an admirable one for the despatch of produce to market. Benmore is surrounded 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 j-the Freehold, each purchaser obtaining a piece of country of about t- 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 in the advantageous position of retaining occupation hereafter almost on their own terms. Any person desiring to inspect the property can obtain a horse at Benmore Railway Station, provided by Messrs Maben, who will also be prepared to give every assistance and facility for the same purpose.
