Spring Garden farm, Taieri
Spring Garden farm, Taieri,
Consisting of 105 acres good agricultural land on the Taieri Plains, with usual farm buildings and improvements, was to have been sold by auction, but was disposed of privately on the day of sale for £2,000, or nearly £20 per acre. This farm again changed hands within one month of sale at a rise of £5 per acre; i.e., at £25 per acre, and it is reported that £30 per acre has since been refused by present owners, who consider that money can be made out of it by farming even at £35 per acre.
