GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The Gorton Estate, formerly the property of W. F. Sinclair, Esq., is situated within four miles of Cambridge Borough, and has a frontage of about three miles to the main road. It is bounded by the Waikato River on the south. The altitude is about 250 ft. to 350 ft., and the climate bracing. The general quality of the soil is light loam, easily worked. Upon the lower terraces it is sandy, resting upon a bed of pumice gravel. The pasture on the estate is generally good. Root crops do well. The land is suitable for dairy farming or mixed farming. Most of the sections have water of a permanent nature, but in some instances wells will have to be sunk. All the fences are of a substantial nature. The buildings are all in good order, being practically new and convenient.

Adjoining the estate there is a creamery, post and telephone office, also a daily school. The roads inside the estate are not yet constructed, but in their present state drays can be taken on to each section.
