FAIRY VILLA,
Amidst Superb Plantations, Romantic Scenery and Rich Perennial Crops. to be SOLD, the beautiful ESTATE of GOLDEN GROVE, (see Bullock's Map of the Isle of Man,) lying at a convenient distance from Douglas, and containing, by survey, 162 acres, ;
The House is modern and commodious, with all suitable Offices and Out-Offces, surrounded with very extensive Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, forming altogether, for a Family of Taste in easy Circumstances, a Gentlemanly Residence of no ordinary attraction.
The young Woods are the largest in the Island, covering an extent of about forty acres, and promise in a few years to return the principal Money with compound Interest. Viewing this, therefore, merely as an investment of Capital and setting aside the local beauties and extraordinary perennial Crops and Land otherwise employed, the Purchase offers no every-day advantages More Land will be added if wanted, and Part of the Purchase Money may remain secured upon the Premises.
