A Lawson's Creek Farm.
FOR SALE.
AN UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
Messrs. Leeson Prince and Co., Mudgee, have received instructions from Mr. Daniel Gawthorne (on account of his brother, Mr. Harry Gawthorne) to sell by auction at their rooms, Market Street, Mudgee, on Wednesday, December 14, at 2 o'clock p.m., Mr. Gawthorne's well appointed farm, conveniently situated on the Mudgee-Rylstone road, about four miles from Mudgee, of an area of 189 acres. The farm is admirably adapted for dairying, pig keeping, lucerne growing, and the like, and there is a fine orchard with about 80 chains frontage to Lawson's Creek, which is running most of the year. The property is well improved and has on it a brick and stone two-storey residence of eight rooms in good repair, dairy, cart sheds, stables, cow bails, etc., all in good repair. The farm is within half a mile of Mount Frome railway station, post office and school. The farm has been in possession of the Gawthorne family for upwards of eighty years and members of the family have lived on it, and worked it for all of that time. The father of the vendor, Mr. Daniel Gawthorne, took the land up. This is an ideal property alike as a home and a business, and the sale offers an unique opportunity to anyone looking out for a place to settle down in comfort, and a property to work profitably1
