SIMES AND CO., * ' • auctioneers and estate AGENTS, I licensed land brokers, j 144-14G HEREFORD STREET. for private SALE. rpHE FINE SUMNER HOMESTEAD 1 KNOWN" AS "W A H I - R U R U." Rarely docs such a fine property as this come into the market, and it gives us great p'easure to submit the particulars for consideration of any prospective buyers. WAHI-RURU is historic in its past associations. The redstone" portion is the first original building in Sumner, and was occupied by notable men of the province of Canterbury in the ca r !v days—of recent years a new wooden portion has been built, comprising G fine rooms with all modem offices and conveniences, making, with the redstono portion, practically a 10-roomcd dwelling. WAHI-RURU nestles amidst the finest garden in Sumner. For the past 10 years until quite recently it has been the sole hobby of a gentleman and his gardener, and the product of their labour is a charming garden well stocked with raro shrubs, iiowcrs, and laid out in pretty lawns and walks; palm house, glasshouse (heated), fino well-bearing orchard of piums, apricots, peaches, apples, and pears. A factor to be considered, too, is tho corapactncss of the garden and the ease and minimum of expense required to keep it in order. The area is not large—about 11 acrce —and any ordinary enthusiast with a fair amount of leisure could keep the garden in order. WAHI-RURU is the most delightful spot in Sumner to live, cool in summor, warm in winter, beautifully sheltered from a.l tho winds, and only about 10 minutes from the beach. WAHI-RURU ia now being offered for absolute sale irrespective of cost. It can bo purchased with either nearly 1 £ acrce, which includes the dwelling and all tho garden portion, or with any quantity of land up to oi acres. The price of £1850 for the house and 14 acres ia probably lc3s than what the garden alone has cost. Vi'e should bo pleased to quote for any portion according to a purchaser's requirements. We are prepared to give any reasonable terms. PHOTOS OF WAHI-RURU and full details will be supp.icd on application; or, better still, call and lot ua siiow you this delightful home. W. E.
