TO BE .SO L D,
AV ALUABLE Plantation in the Corporation of
Burlington, called Mount Airy, the property
of Drury Wake, Esq; containing three hundred acres,
forty of which are meadow now under improvement,
and may be rendered very valuable at the small expence
of maintaining a bank of about sixteen rods. The situ
ation is really elegant for a Gentleman's rural retreat,
having an extensive front on the banksof the Delaware,
with the benefit of a find fishery near the door, and good
angling for pearch and rock. The mansion is a decent
frame, with a spacious piazza and two good parlours, a
large kitchen and a small room adjoining on the ground
floor, two good bed-chambers and garret over them, and
roomy cellars paved with brick, standing in the center
of two orchards, having an interval well adapted for an
elegant garden ; it commands a fine profpe& both up and
down the river, as likewise of the cities of Burlington
and Brjftol, each of which is but a mile and a half dis
tant. The rest of the plantation lies back from the river
in a compact (quare. There are tuotnants houses on
the premises, one situated on the water fide, equally as
pleasant as the above described, the other almost at the
extent of the farrx, called Silver-spring Valley, has a
view of the meadows downwards, and is backed by an
extent of woodland of sixty acres ; is a compleat situati
on for an overseer without giving interruption to a Gen
tleman's retirement. For further particulars enquire of
Daniel Ellis, Esq; at Burlington, or of Drury
Wake, Esq; on the premises. §4
