This land is all light, sandy soil, principally adapted for grazing purposes only, though probably some of the better land is suitable for root-crops. The greater part of the flat is covered with self-sown rye-grass, and is well known for its grazing capabilities. Artesian water can, it is believed, be obtained in any part of the flat. An artesian well was sunk many years ago on Section 34, Block II., near the sandhill, in the middle of the flat, and is still flowing. Section 36, Block II., adjoining the Little River Railway-line, is covered with splendid rye-grass. Sections 1, 2, and 3, Block IV., on the main road, include part of the same rye-grass flat, and have all some ground suitable for building on. Sections 4, 8, 9, and 13, Block IV., are covered with the lake-weed, growing on a sandy bottom, but are considered capable of improvement if the lake-water is kept off them. The rest of the sections, both in Blocks II., III., and IV., especially those fronting the long straight road, on the ridge known as the base-line ridge, are all more or less covered with rye-grass, affording good pasturage, and carry a large amount of stock. Sections 2 to 8, Block II., are wetter than the rest of the flat, but are all capable of being drained; they do not at present, however, afford such good pasturage as some of the other sections. The greater part of Section 41, Block II., is a sandhill.

The whole of the land is within three and a half miles of either the Greenpark or the Rabbit Island Railway-stations, on the Little River Railway. The Ellesmere Flat is situated about eighteen miles from Christchurch, and is eminently fitted for grazing and dairy purposes, being within easy distance of the Taitapu Dairy Factory.
