The area now offered forms part of Tapanui Settlement, which was formerly known as “Brooksdaie,” the property of the late Mr. George Stuart. It is situated in a very good agricultural district, where dairying, cropping, sheep-farming, and fattening are successfully carried on. Tapanui Township (with post and telegraph office, school, and railway-station) is about four miles distant, while the Tapanui and Kelso dairy factories are about four miles away. Splendid access; nearly all metalled roads. Practically all level land or on a gentle slope lying well to the sun. Mostly good sharp soil, responds well to top-dressing and manuring, is clear of rabbits, has good running water in most of the paddocks, thus making for very good sheep and cattle country, while splendid root and cereal crops can be grown.

Particular Description.

Section 4s: About 5 acres swamp, balance has been cultivated and is now in old pasture. Fair water-supply. Soil, sharp loam; grows good root and cereal crops.

Section 5s: With the exception of 10 acres in bush, plantations, and the lake area, the whole of the property has been under cultivation, and at present approximately 390 acres are in grass and 40 acres fallow. Good water-supply.

Special Condition.

The plantation on Section 5s is not to be cut or interfered with in any way except with the permission of the Commissioner of Crown Lands, and on such conditions as he may impose.

For any further particulars apply to the undersigned.
