This section is situated about a mile and three-quarters from the Township of Waimate in a north-easterly direction by the Main North Road and a short branch road therefrom. The section comprises agricultural land, varying in altitude from about 115 ft. to 220 ft. above sea-level, consisting chiefly of good flat-topped downs, with a strip of flat from 1 chain to 3 chains wide along the southern boundary. It is all easily workable, with cart access in two places from the flat. There are from 6 in. to 12 in. of good soil on clay, and the land is in grass nearly five years old. There is no permanent water, but a supply might be obtained by damming the creek, or, possibly, by sinking wells. The improvements (which are included in the price of the section) consist of half the value of gorse hedge on the north-west boundary (11½ chains), and half the value of 19¾ chains of gorse-and-sod fence on the west boundary. Total value of existing improvements, £6 17s. 9d.
