A MOST DEsIRAHLH ESTATE
stN NJ A N x Is no

VyyISHING to transfer portion OF my labor
w to the South West; where have large and
, valuable landed property that desire TO bring
into active operation, offer Tor sale one OF the
most desirable highland Estates in this region OF
country.
This Estate is in Nelson county, miles below
the Court House, a aourishing little vllage-and
miles above New Market, on tho James River
Canal. The tract contains
1911 ACRES,
more than half of which is in wood, remarkably
we'll timbered-and a very large portion of il az
fine Tobacco land as any in that part OF the couns
try. Most of the cleared land is in good state
of cultivation, having been improved by the par.
tial use OF Plaster and Clover, to which think
it is as well adapted as the famous "Short Hills
of Loudoun.
The tract occupies beautiful valley, the cens
ire of which is cleared, leaving supply of tin.
Der on each side, running short distance up the
sides of the low mountains forming the valley.
Although situated among mountains, this tract OF
land lies remarkably we!l--being as level az
could be desired, with not so acres on the mouna
tain side too steep for cultivation,
Ii has, think, near 1GO Acres of Creek and
Branch Flats, (most of which are highly improi
we'd. having been kept up as Tobacco Lots, capa.
BILE of being converted into watered meadow.
This meadow land alone, under a judciohs sys,
tenn Encouragement, such as is practised by the Fari
mers Of the Valley of Va, would give profit
greater than the interest the purchase money
for the Estate! Hoy has during the last year
been selling on the Canal, for 81 to 81 rs per 100
-and the demand is likely to continue, for be-
sides supplying the large number of horses used
in the navigation of the Canal, the price Of ttanss
portaon is SO low as to enable the farmers con:
venient to the line furnish this article dill the
towns from I.ynchburg to Richmond.
This grand State work-the j. X. and II. Ca.
nal, by rendering transportation certain, safe, and
cheap, has already enhanced, and must continue
% enhance the value of the lands along the line
IF the improvement. 1t has practically, SO far
rs the cost of transportation is concerned, brought
he farmer of Nelson within IL or l5 miles of his
his market at Richmond
The land offer for sale is well enclosed-n d
good state OF cultivation-is susceptible of diva
sion into three iour farms, each well supplied
with timber on two SIDES, and Astounding with
ine springs and running water. That il is well
adapted to grass is proven by the fact that where.
ever al all improved and suffered 10 rest, it spec.
lilly covers itself with green sward-the best OF
our natural or artificial grasses.
For this estate gave about twenty years ago,
SD 800, since which j have expended several
thousand dollars in buildings and other improves
nents.
To The iudcious and managing farmers OF The
Valley, this tract of land, which Considering its
ocality and convenience to markeD could soon
re made as productive as their own, which they
IAN sell at three or -four times the price ask for
nne--hods out inducements which think they
could not withstand if they would look for thems
selves.
The improvements consist Of an Overseer's
House, rooms-Negro Cabins, sufficient iof
he accommodation of 40 slaves-a Granary with
Threshing machine attached-Cribs, Stables;
md Tobacco Barns sufficient to cure 10000 lbs,
# Tobacco.
This land will be shown by my manager Mt,
Johnson, the premises, and the terms inads
,nown by application to myself, In Albemarle, of
o my friend Capt. Lotus, at Nelson Court
1ouse.--Address, 'Garand's Store, Albemarle.'
