Subdivision 2.
Section 1, Block II.; 487 acres.
Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 20 ft. and 600 ft. above sea-level. This section comprises 144 acres of agricultural land and 343 aires of pastoral land. The agricultural portion consists of flat and undulating land, about 20 acres of which are in stubble, and 48 acres fallow after turnips, the remainder being in tussock and native grasses. The pastoral portion is rather steep hilly country, 74 acres ploughed, and now fallow after turnips, the remainder being in tussock and native grasses. Watered by streams, but it is very doubtful if the supply is permanent. Situated opposite to Wheeler's accommodation-house on the Blenheim-Kaikoura Road, and six miles distant from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the section) consist of 42 chains of boundary and subdivisional fencing, valued at £25 5s.
