General Description.—The sections now offered form part of “Tapanui Settlement,” and comprise the homestead area which was formerly known as “Brooksdale Estate,” the property of the late Mr. George Stuart. The area is situated in the famous Crookston-Tapanui District, and is specially suitable for dairying, cropping, sheep-farming, and fattening. The former homestead dwelling was recently destroyed by fire and the remaining house accommodation can only be viewed as fit for temporary occupation. 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 by 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 available to all paddocks, thus making for very good sheep and cattle country, while splendid root and cereal crops can be grown. This property has produced phenomenal yields of both wheat and oats.

Section 4s contains about 5 acres swamp, balance has been cultivated and is now in old pasture with exception of approximately 9 acres new grass.

Section 5s, with the exception of 10 acres in bush, plantations, and the lake area, has all been under cultivation, and at present approximately 400 acres are in grass, including 40 acres just sown down, and 31 acres are sown in ridged turnips.

The right is reserved to enter on portion of Section 5s for threshing and removal of grain crop.

Special Condition.—The plantation and standing bush on Section 5s are 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.

Full particulars may be obtained from the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Dunedin.
