GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This estate is situated about five miles distant from the Toko Railway-station by Ohura, Waiwiri, and Makuri Roads, all metalled, and about three miles and a half from the Huiroa Railway-station. It is about twelve miles from Stratford. There is a school at Huiroa, about two miles and a half away. A creamery is in operation on the property. The country varies from flat and undulating to hilly. Three of the sections contain a large proportion of land fit for dairying, and on the others a certain number of milking-cows could be grazed if any tenants wished to do so. The land is well watered, and all laid down in English grasses, excepting in the case of a few acres not regrassed after ploughing. Fern requires checking in a few patches, but is not bad anywhere, and on the rougher ground there are very few places unsafe for stock. The soil is a free loam of mixed volcanic and papa origin, on a papa and sandstone subsoil. Shell limestone crops out in a few places. Climate moist and favourable for grass. Right of access to and through Sections 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s is reserved along the track in the vicinity until the Kota Road is formed. Two quarries for road-metalling purposes are reserved out of Section 2s. The hills rise to about 400 ft. above the flats, and there is more or less ploughable ground on all the sections. Altitude varies from 400 ft. to 900 ft.

Portions of Sections 6s and 7s are subject to a water right held by the Stratford Farmers’ Co-operative Dairy Company, allowing them to take and convey water from the Kaikoura Stream and its tributaries to the factory under the condition of restoring the surface disturbed.

SPECIAL CONDITION.

The right of access through Section 2 to the quarries at any time, without compensation for surface damage, is reserved to any persons authorized by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, but the Crown disclaims any liability for loss incurred through any accidents to stock straying or falling in such quarries, or for fencing the same.

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

Commissioner of Crown Lands.
