REMUEIRA SETTLEMENT.

This settlement, containing approximately 3,600 acres, comprises the well-known Remuera Estate and Messrs. Wright and Pitcaithly’s Omapere Farm, the former being favourably known throughout the North Island on account of the fine stud Romney Marsh flocks bred from pedigree stock by Mr. Close, and also of his equally well-known Hereford herds of stud cattle.

The estate having carried 4,000 sheep, 1,100 head of cattle, and 60 horses, little need be said as to its quality. The settlement lies between the Ohaeawai-Okaihau and the Ohaeawai-Kaikohe main metalled roads, with its nearest point within a quarter of a mile of the Ohaeawai Post-office, creamery, and school, and its furthest sections are about four miles distant.

The land is mostly of a volcanic nature, and ranges from fair to the very best quality; a large area is flat, while the balance varies from very easy slopes to easy hills, the range in height being from about 500 ft. to 1,200 ft. above sea-level. A large area has been ploughed and grassed, whilst the remainder has been surface sown. Most of the southern end of the blocks consists of bush land, now grassed, and carrying very good feed.

The sections range in area from 76 to 373 acres, and are in a number of cases nearly ring-fenced, while all have a considerable quantity of fencing which will require very little adding to to make several paddocks on each farm. With the exception of three, all the sections are well watered, and in the case of these three a good and sufficient supply can be maintained by rams at the springs in each section.
