IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE

The Collation Kirkham Estate, 1,260 Acres, all Freehold,
an Investment of great Importance, in the Parish of Paing-
ton, with the Manorial Rights and Privileges, divided
into convenient Farms, the Lands not to be surpassed
throughout the County, with an unexceptionable Ten-
entry ; also 100 Acres of Woods and Plantations? and the
entire Village of Collaton, three miles from Toriquay, four
from Totness, and six from Dartmouth ; and the Occombe
Estate, two miles off, which will form a separate Lot.

TR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the directions
1.11- of the highly estimable proprietor to VFER to PUB-
LIC COMPETITION, at the Auction art, London, on
THURSDAY, July 15, at Twelve,
A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FRE HOLD LANDED
ESTATE, of which it may be stated, (and the observation
is made advisedly,) it stands alone

THROUGHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS
AN INVESTMENT, IN THE STRICTEST SENSE
OF THE WORD, WHEREIN DOUBT AND UN-
CERTAINTY ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED.
In the spirit of candour, which it is intended should prevail
in every announcement of the individual who has been
selected to direct

THE SALE OF THIS GEM,
it should be added, it is in the literal sense of the word that
investment is applied. It is fortunately without the alloy of
a mansion and its consequent expense. It comprehends
altogether about
TWELVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES
OF MEADOW, PASTURE, ORCHARD, AND WOOD-
LANDS, with an
EXEEDINGLY LOW POOR-RATE. & THE TITHE
COMMUTED VERY MODERATELY.
It is divided into convenient Farms ; a few only are on lease
for a short period, and the whole very considerably underlet.
The real value on the determination of the few leases (and
some others demised for old lives) will exceed
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED POUNDS
A YEAR.
THE COLLATION KIRKHAM ESTATE

INCLUDE THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATION
surrounded by the best roads in every direction, and in a
vicinity that ingenuity itself will be at fault to find a parallel

THE CLIMATE OF THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE
is r.s efficacious as the SOUTH. OF FRANCE,

to restore health and prolong life. A rich East Indian should
be tempted into this purchase and splendid vicinity, not
unfrequently assimilated TO HEAVEN UPON EARTH,
if he would repair the mischief inflicted by getting wealth at
the expense of a debilitated constitution. Torquay, which
is on the verge of this Estate, with splendid villas most
invitingly placed in readiness for a nabob, is famed for the
countless numbers of valitudinarians that have been restored
to health by the genial influence of its atmosphere. Dart-
mouth and Totness are close at hand, and Exeter within a
drive of two hours, and ere long it will be

WITHIN EIGHT HOURS OF THE METROPOLIS

OF LONDON

Devonshire is proverbial for the superiority of its soil, but
it should seem that Nature has been immeasurably kind to
this property. The quality is really unsurpassable, and to
this it may be added,

THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN;
AND NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON THE
ESTATE.,_

This may be accounted a demonstration
" STRONG AS HOLY WRIT."
And it may be noticed, that amongst the infinity of claims
that are put forth by Collaton Kirkham, the scenery is not
the least; on the acclivity, which appears 2,000 feet above
the sea, is presented
A PANORAMA AS PERFECT
as the world can accomplish—Torbay in one direction, Tor-
quay and Babbecombe Bay on the other, are seen at the foot
of this stupendous and romantic hill, while the

- UNRIVALLED DART,
winding its rapid and circuitous course through
WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY,
presents such a constant accession of fresh delight, as to
" be likened to perpetual motion ;" it must be seen to be
appreciated. THE PACKET STATION
is finally fixed at Dartmouth, and the Devon oxen will now,
by means of railway, breathe the air of Smithfield in eight
hours.

THE OCCOMBE AND COMPTON POOL ESTATE,
two miles from the great feature which has been so inade-
quately noticed ; it is on the direct road from Totness to
Torquay, and consists of a Farm-house and Buildings, with
183 acre of excellent Land, independent of the Orcharding,
which, by the way, ought to have claimed a distinguished
place in the preceding attempt, inasmuch as its beauty,
although every where conspicuous, is secondary to the im-
mense revenue which, in this cyder country, it affords ; the
luxuriant blossom, seen by the writer, produced a sensation
never to be obliterated ; his memory could repose on it for
ever. Again, it is indispensable with a view to confirm the
eulogium pronounced on the quality of the soil throughout
the whole domain, to observe, that the oxen fatted on this
property are in high request at Smithfield, and frequently
secured before their arrival. The produce from the Meadow
Land EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,
while the Corn Lands produce from four to five quarters of
wheat and barley. But to return to Occombe. The Estate
Is principally occupied by Mrs. Norcott, who has a lease of
three years, at a very insufficient rent, The Farm is adapted
to sheep and corn. It has besides ten acres of new Orchard
and sixteen of Woods and Plantations. At Compton Pool
there are Grist Mills, and a newly-erected Farm-house and
Buildings. Connected, and in a separate lot, will be sold,
the Pool Mills and the Pool Fields, and
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.
Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of the
most desirable investment of the county.—. Particulars
