SCHEDULE.
CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—WAIMATE COUNTY.—WAIHAO SURVEY DISTRICT.—ALLANHOLME SETTLEMENT.

First-class Land.

• Interest and sinking fund on buildings valued at £481, payable in cash or in fourteen years by half-yearly instalments of £24 5s. 10d. Total half-yearly payment, £78 5s. 10d.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This settlement is situated on the south branch of the Waihao River, about two miles north-westerly from the Waihao Forks Railway-station, about ten miles from Waimate and fourteen miles from Studholme Junction, on the Christchurch–Dunedin Main Trunk Railway. Agricultural sections, ranging in altitude from about 500 ft. to 800 ft. above sea-level, comprising undulating and easy sloping spurs, level terraces, and river-flats. The soil is generally good, rich in places, on a clay subsoil, slightly stony on some of the river-flats. The property is at present carrying grass, oat and wheat stubble, rape and turnips, with a few patches of unbroken land in tussock and English grasses. The greater portion of each section is ploughable.

All of the sections are watered by the Waihao River, with the exception of Section No. 5, which is watered by Stony Creek and springs. There are also several small streams which are liable to dry up during dry seasons. The dwellinghouse and stables on Lot 4 are supplied with good water from a bore and windmill on Stony Creek, and good water can probably be found by boring on any of the sections.

All the sections have road-access. A new road has been laid out through Sections 1, 2, and 3 (which will be formed) giving access to good homestead-sites. Reserves for school and creamery sites have been provided.
