GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

This estate, recently acquired from Messrs. Crawford Bros., in whose possession it has been for about thirteen years, has acquired a very high reputation for its sheep-carrying capacity.

The estate lies about eight miles north of Dargaville, on a formed road, and a further road is to be formed this summer, the money for the cost of same having already been raised.

The estate has been subdivided into fifteen farms ranging in area from 154 acres to 536 acres. Four of these sections are still in standing bush, five of the other sections will make good dairy farms, while the rest are grazing propositions.

On approximately 3,000 acres Messrs. Crawford Bros. carried over 6,000 sheep and 80 head of cattle, and brought them through the last dry summer, their wool-clip running out to 140 bales for the season.

All the sections are well watered, and contain sufficient timber for fencing purposes.

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