PRELIMIN vllY ANNOUNO xMENT IMPORTANT SALE c r SUBURBAN AND OTHER PROPERTY, Doing a portion of that well-known and V.\LU ■ HLE EkTaTF, GROVE FARM. MR T. BULLOCK (in conjunction with Messrs-Friedlander Bros.), has received instructions from Robert Wilkin, Esq., to offer by Public Auction, at the Arcade, on an early date, A portion of that well-know Properly Grove Farm, which is now being divided into Suburban Building Allotments, fronting Carter’s ter race, Graham’s road and Grove street, and is known to contain some of the most valuable Subur ban Property that has ever been offered to the public in this dis trict, and the locality is everything that can be desired. A large pro portion of the frontages have a northern aspect ; the Land is -of first-class quality, and there are many magn fie-, nt Sites for Villa Residences. "ho road from the end of the bridge (Cartel’s tnrr.ice) is npw being fenced on Loth sides to ‘the Boundary road leading to the main thoroughfare to Lcno beach. There are also laid off a number of small holdings, facing Graham’s road, which will be found very suitable for paddocks for per sons sending their stock to the County Saleyards, or wishing to procure a small farm near town. Now that the Traffic Bridge is about to bo erected, it will be found to be very convenient for persons having their busi ness in Ashburton, and desirous of resid ing in the country, as it is close to the town; but the river being between, affords the same advantage as if they were living some distance away. SPECIAL NOTE. It is doubtful if there is a property in New Zea’and offering the same advantages as Grove Farm does. The Land is of the very best quality, and the position could not be improved, lying as it does about midway between the important town of Ashburton and the rising township of Tinwald. At each of these places con venient Saleyards have been erected, and the large attendance at the weekly mar kets proves that the settlers in the neigh borhood are fully alive to the advantages which these markets offer. Intending purchasers are respectfully invited to inspect the several lots to be offered previous to the sale. T. BULLOCK, 2 203 Auctioneer. TO PARTIES IN SEARCH OF FIRST CLASS AGRICULTURAL LAND.

McARDELL (on behalf of the , British and New Zealand Mortgage and Agency Company, Limited) in con junction with the National Mortgage and Agency Company, Limited, has received instructions to sell by auction on the above date, That portion of this valuable property known as Mayfield, comprising about 3,000 Acres of deep rich 1-nd, all of which is in an ad vanced state of cultivation, and in such good heart that a large annual return is assured to anyone ac quiring a Farm on the Estate. The sale of this fine block of land may be considered as being offered to the public Without Reserve. The intention being to sell at pricja to suit the times, and on exceptionally easy terms, viz , 10 per cent, cash, 10 percent, in six months, 15 per cent, in twelve months, remainder secured on the pro perty at a low rate of interest. These terms are practically tuch as to admit of instalments of purchase money being paid from the land itse f. The remainder of -the properly will in the meantime be open for p:ivate sale in such areas as buyers may require, and on terms that will be within the reach of any practical farmer of moderate means, a large proportion of the purchase money being allowed to remain secured on the pro perly at per cent, interest. The Gladfield Estate was a first selec tion by Mr Mackintosh on the Oreti Plains, a;.d adjoins the well-known pro perty of Messrs Smith and Kingswell, as also the deferred payment block of 4,000 acres—every section of which is now oc cupied by thriving sit tiers. The Oreti Plains, of which Gladfip’ I was a special selection, is now established as the best and largest area of wheat-growing land in Southland, and the whole of the property to be offered is within easy distance of the Winton or Otautau railway stations.
