Weighted with £5,100 for improvements, comprising buildings (see below), 295 chains boundary fencing (half-share), 740 chains internal fencing, 220 chains road-boundary fencing, clearing, grassing, dip, and yards.

This property, which is suitable for sheep and cattle, is situated on the Raurimu–Kaitieke Road twenty-four miles south-east of Taumarunui, and consists of marginal hill country farm land which will readily revert if not properly farmed.
