TO BE LETT,
T HE Island called Hoobock, in New-Jersey, directly opposite the City of New-York, lying on Hudson's River, containing between seven and eight hundred Acres, two thirds of which is Upland, and one third Salt Meadow. It is in the best Order, has on it a Garden of about five Acres, filled with a choice Collection of English Fruit, such as Peaches, Pears, Plumbs, Cherries, Necterns, and Apricots. There is on it a very large Dwelling House, which the Land- lord keeps himself; and another very good one adjoin- ing, both under one Roof, which latter hires with the Island; and under the whole are very large convenient Cellars, together with an extraordinary Kitchen. A few Feet Distance from the Dwelling, is a large new- Kitchen, which has three Rooms on each Side, there- fore more fitting for a Family, having also the same Conveniences as abovementioned; likewise the most commodious Dairy for at least thirty Cows.
There are also other Out-Houses, as, a new Smoke- House, Fowl-House, a large Stable with Stalls for ten Horses on one Side, and a fine roomly Place on the other to work in when dirty Weather, over which is a Granery with Appartments for all Kind of Grain, and at the con-
510
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1760
trary End a Hay-Loft, which will contain a great Quan- tity of Hay; besides all which, there is a very large roomly Barn for Cows on the one Side, and another for Horses on the other. There are likewise on the Farm a good Cyder Mill, and House over it, the Loft of which will hold about 20 Load of Hay.
There will be let with the Premises, a good Waggon, Cart, Ploughs, Harrows, and Farm Utensils of every Sort; as also, 100 good Sheep, among which are English Rams; also thirty good Milch Cows, and thirty Head of Cattle, from one to four Years old.
Besides an old Orchard, which in good Years will produce 70 or 80 Barrels of Cyder, there are also sat out near 1000 Apple Trees, all grafted with the best of Fruits, some of which bore last Year.
This farm has a Right in Bergen Commons, to turn ·out what Cattle you please, and be supplied with Tim- ber for fencing and firing; is finely supplied with Fish and Oysters in the greatest Abundance, all around it, and scarce any Thing in America can equal its Con- venience for marketing, as in good Weather you may cross, take one Time with another, in Half an Hour; and in the different Seasons of the Year abound with Plenty of wild Fowl; and the Farm itself all in good Clover; Of the Salt Hay may be mowed at least 500 Loads per Year, and of Fresh at present Sixty, but more may be brought.
In short, a Farm equal to this, for all Convenience is not to be met with, and in Point of Situation nothing can exceed it, and is remarkably healthy.
Any Person inclining to hire the same, may apply to William Bayard, living in New-York, and if they agree, enter into it this Fall.
