Small Grazing-run No. 170, Block VIII.; 1,830 acres.

Agricultural and pastoral land, at an elevation varying between 220 ft. and 1,500 ft. above sea-level. This run comprises about 90 acres of agricultural land of good quality—part on the frontage and part a little more difficult of access—and 1,740 acres of pastoral land, comprising two small tussock flats, ploughable but difficult of access; some nice tussock hills, parts of which are ploughable and suitable for growing root-crops; and hilly land of variable quality, dipping abruptly in the immediate vicinity of the creeks, and growing fern, tussock, and native grasses, with much scrub and bush near the creeks. There is permanent water in some of the creeks. Distant one mile and three-quarters from the main Kaikoura-Blenheim Road by the Gulch Road (unformed), and seventeen miles and a quarter from Seddon Railway-station. The improvements (which are included in the price of the run) consist of 244 chains of boundary and other fencing, valued at £183.
