Small Grazing-run No. 166, Block V.; 2,096 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 300ft. and 1,543 ft. above sea-level. This run comprises 28 acres of agricultural land, cultivated, and now in English grass. The remaining 2,068 acres of pastoral land consists of hilly and undulating land in its native state, with tussock, native grasses, and an intermixture of clover and English grass in places; some of this is ploughable, and would probably grow root or fodder crops, but it is too inaccessible for any other kind of cultivation. Watered by the Flaxbourne River. Situated at the western end of the Kaka Road (unformed), two miles and a quarter from the main Blenheim-Kaikoura Road, and fourteen miles and three-quarters from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 554 chains of boundary and other fencing valued at £219 15s.
