Section 38 contains about 60 acres or more fit for dairying,
and the rest is generally good sheep and dry cattle country.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This property is situated on the Mangaotuku Road, about
four miles and a half from the Douglas Railway-station, and
a little less from the saleyards near there. The roads leading
to the railway and dairy factory are metalled. There is a
school opposite the southernmost corner of the property, and
the cheese-factory is only about twenty chains from the same
point. The land has been cleared and grassed for a period
of over eighteen years, so that only a little dry timber is left.
It carries a good sole of grass, except in a few patches where
fern is prevalent. The soil is of good quality, consisting of a
volcanic loam covering mixed with papa. The easier portions
are adapted for dairying, and the steeper for either sheep or
dry cattle. The land is well watered, and the climate is
fairly moist. The altitude varies from 470 ft. to 970 ft.
above sea-level. Two of the sections have good homestead-
sites directly on to the road, but the dwelling on the third
has to be reached by a bridge, which will have to be maintained
or re-erected by the future tenant. Small bridges or stream
crossings will be required for the working of the other sections.
Boundaries have been chosen to get good fence-lines and to
secure ease in working. The fencing is in fair order. The
railway reserve shown on plan is not likely to be used.

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