GREAT AUCTION SALE OF THE BAXNATYNE ESTATE LANDS, BEAUTD7UL KARORI. Two Miles from the General Post Office. -i Kft ONE HUNDRED- AND -i Rft J-OU FIFTY ±O\9 MAGNDJTCENT BUILDING SECTIONS IN THE VERY CENTRE OF THE SUBURB. ON WEDNESDAY, 16th NOV., 1904, At 2.50 o'clock p.m. IN THE EXCHANGE LAND MART, . No. 84, Lambton-quay, Wellington. MACDONALD, WILSON AND CO. are favoured with instructions to sell by public auction as above — 1K A O^E HUNDRED AND -| p?/\ XOU FIFTY ADU Of tho FINEST BUILDIXG b±,UTIONS iv tho delightful SUBURB OF KARORI, forming portion of the original Estate of tlie late Major I Monaguan. These Sections ate specially adapted for the erection of high-class Villa Residences. They face the mam Karori road running betweon the City of Wellington and Karori, and seven new streets, named respectively Bcauchamp, Cook, Spiers, Dasent, Tisdall, Henderson, and Russell Crescent, and have areas ranging from oneeiglith ot an acre to four and a-half acre 3. A contract has been let for the construction, and formation of tho streets, which are all to bo completed to tho satisfaction of the. Karori Borough CouncUi and to bo maintained by the vendors for a period of six months after completiou. The Sections aro all situato on what is knowu as the sunny side of Iho road, aid the streets aro so laid out that nearly every houso to be erected will catch the eva from* "rosy morn till dewy eve."" • As to- water, in addition to a firEt-clasa and. never- failing stream there are several springs on the C3tate, and water can also be obtained at a short distance from the 6urfaco by sinking wells. 1 The property is almost dead level along the whole frontage to the main road, rising gradually to the back. From that quarter there is a splendid view of- Iho btraits, Te Aro, Thorndon, ' Kaiwarra, Petone, the Hutt, and the whole magnificent sweep of tha waters of Pbrt Nicholsons' whilo in. front lie the l6velfest hills and vales in New Zealand, dis-tani only two miles from the General-Post Office in the City of Wellington. The lato Major Monoghan half a century ago specially selected the particular block now subdivided for ea-lo as the bc?st block in Karori, and created a home there, in which ho lived till his death. Tho land was originally bush, but has been for many years cleared and used as pasture. The Boil is of most .-excellent quality, and will grow everything possible, in garden and orchard.' There is not a Section in the whole block that will not make nn admirable site for the erection of a delightful home. ' As for 'Karori itself, this charming rural isuburb has been a favourite residential spot for the people of Wellington since | Iho founding of the Wellington Settlement | in the year 184 Q. In the year 1888 Karori , received an onormous development by the Fubdivision of tho property of tho late Hou. John Johnston, M.L.C., on the southern side cf the main road, and since that date Karori haa nevor lookpd back. What was said about Karori in 1888 still holds good : "That tho only drawback this charming suburb has is that there is no doctor jn it. The unfortunate gentle mpn of the medical ' profession who^ havo tried to live at Karori deekre rolemrily that'it is unequalled on the globe, for from January to December no ono wants a doctor. The reason is not far to seek. Karori lies about 500 feet above the level of the sea. The air has a delightful lightness apd cri<pne» about it that make3the mere fact of existence a continuous uloasure, and it is admitted that Karori "has, proportionately to its population, more halt, hearty olel people of great age in the full- possession of their faculties and j energies than any other suburb in the colony." THE TERMS OF RALE will be fo*nd unequalled for liberality and the convonienco of intending buyers. They are as follows: — . Ton per cent. Deposit at Sale. Five per cent, in Three Mouths. Fivo per cent." in Six Months. Five per cent, jn Nine Months. Five per cent, in Twelve Months.
