SALE BY AUCTION. HIGHLY VALUABLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, Capable of producing £400 per annum. MR. ROBERT COCK has been honored with instructions from the Proprietor to submit to public competition an exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, presenting an investment without risk, and standing alone for its permanent eligibility It may be said, indeed, that so valuable and safe an investment will not be brought into the market for many a year to come. To do justice to such a property, nay, even to enumerate a tithe of its many advantages, would require the pen of the inimitable Robins ; but it is gra-tifying to think that it possesses such strong claims to the attention of the capitalist, that a feeble description to accompany the bare an-nouncement of the Sale will suffice to create great competition. The property comprises TWO PRELIMINARY COUNTRY SECTIONS, selected with great care and judgment on the admired BANKS OF THE TORRENS, that beautiful River running through and dividing the Land into two Sections, with a sheet of water having a fall well adapted for a corn or saw mill, being Nos. 284 and 479 of the Preliminary Survey. Perhaps no place could be more admirably suited for the various aud lucrative purposes for which GOOD LAND AND SPLENDID SITUATION ARE UNTIRINGLY SOUGHT FOR For Sheep or Cattle runs, for a Dairy, for Agricultural purposes, and last, though not least, for a COUNTRY VILLAGE, perhaps no spot could be more happily selected. Each Section comprises 134 acres of rich Land, with a right of road, and is between two and three miles from the CITY OF ADELAIDE, and its lovely and inviting situation cannot fail soon to attract the attention of those whom we hope ere long to see upon our shores who would spend thousands to obtain such a pro-perty for a RETIRED RESIDENCE The Estate comprises, in addition to the above, THREE TOWN ACRES, in most excellent and undeniable situations for business. A reference to the Map will at once convince the most cautious and sceptical that Acres 51, 58, and 82, ARE SECOND TO NONE IN THE CITY. Acre 51, in Hindley-street, exactly opposite to Messrs. Hack's new stores, &c, has long ex-cited the attention of capitalists, and many a longing eye has been turned towards it. It is in one of the first-rate situations for building, and adjoins the land of the Treasurer to the Colony in England. ACRE 58, IN HINDLEY STREET, next acre but one to the Office of the South Australian Gazette, and adjoining Mr. Stow's Chapel, with an excellent view of ships coming into the Bay, needs no description, as it is well known that fortunate are those who possess land in this the only business-like street of the whole Town. ACRE 82, IN RUNDLE STREET, situated between Mr. Malcolm's residence and Mr. Fordham's Liquor Stores, is of itself suffi-cient to make a CAPITAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. Mr. Cock, will sell this valuable property on WEDNESDAY, the 4th of JULY, AT TWELVE O'CLOCK PRECISELY. The Property will be Sold in such Lots as it is hoped will suit all interests and satisfy the numerous company which such a valuable Sale will bring together. Adelaide, June 21, 1838.
