REYNOLDS SETTLEMENT.

The Reynolds Estate, consisting of 1,485 acres, formerly the property of Mr. Richards Reynolds, is situated in the Waipa County, about three miles from Cambridge, fronting the main Cambridge—Roto-o-rangi Road. Two creameries and a school are situated at distances of about two miles from the estate. There is a telephone system all over the district, and a rural delivery of mails takes place daily.

The estate is all flat land having been originally nearly all swamp. Practically the whole is now well drained by a complete system of drains, the majority of which are down to the bottom in sand. There is about 300 acres in the south-west corner of the estate which is within a drainage area, and is not yet thoroughly drained.

The soil generally is of very good quality, consisting mostly of consolidated peaty loam.

The estate has been well fenced and subdivided, and the sections have been laid off so as to utilize existing fences as far as possible. The fences are generally good post and seven-wire fences, with some live barberry hedges. The majority of the paddocks have drains round them, and many of the drains are fenced on both sides. There are numerous good shelter-belts and patches of trees in different parts of the estate. With the exception of about 400 acres, mostly at the western end, the whole of the estate is in pasture, generally in very good condition.

Water is obtained from a good permanent stream passing through the property, and from windmills and troughs, and can be obtained by sinking. There are nine windmills on the property, and about twenty troughs, nine of which are large concrete ones, the others being of wood. The lessees of sections containing windmills or water-troughs will be required, for a period of two years from the date of the ballot, to allow free use of and access to same to any of the settlers whose holdings have no water-supply of their own, on reasonable terms in respect to upkeep as may be approved by the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

The whole of the improvements at present existing on the different sections, and consisting of grassing, fencing, ditching, windmills, troughs, plantations, &c., are included in the capital value of the sections to which they belong, the only exception being in the case of Section 4, on which buildings to the value of £550 are an extra charge and must be paid for separately. These buildings consist of a good five-roomed house, valued at £250; two-roomed cottage with lean-to, valued at £50; lean-to shed, valued at £30; large milking-shed with concrete floor, engine-room, cart-shed, &c., and milking-machine installed, the whole valued at £200; and four small sheds valued at £20; making a total value of £550, repayable in fourteen years by twenty-eight half-yearly instalments of £27 15s. 6d. each. The successful applicant for this section will be allowed, if so desired, to dispose of any of the smaller buildings for removal, on payment of the value at which they are assessed.

Sale posters and full particulars may be obtained from this office.
