Thay therefore give an altogether , exceptional opportunity to select the exact block of land which may hit the fancy of the buyer. The property is an exceedingly wellknown one, having formerly been occupied by Mr Smith as a residence and grounds. It occupies a plateau at the top of Xaranaki-street, and commands one of the loveliest prospects in New Zealand. From the Bidwell-street frontage is seen the busy streets of Te Are, Lambton, and Thorn, don Wards; the harbor with its wharves and shipping ; the Valley of the Hutt, and the glistening sands of Lowry Bay ; while ] from the other side of the property the , observer looks down upon Cook Ward, the i College, the Hospital, . and other public buildings ; and away in the distance he sees, the roll of the breakers on Island Bay, the whole presenting a series of ever-varying pictures of the most surpassing interest. It must generally bo recognised that the area of land open for sale and situated as this is, in one of tho most convenient, . healthy, and beautiful quarters of the city, is every year getting less and leas,-‘and before long will bo quite unattainable except to the very wealthy. It is, therefore, the more necessary for those who making Wellington their permanent dwelling-place to lose no time in securing valuable building sites while they have the opportunity to do so at a cheap rate. Few residents recognise the enormous forces that are at work in tho development of the city and districtforces which will inevitably in a few years give Wellington an enormously increased population, and place her in the van as the leading commercial and industrial city in New Zealand. All such developments mean greater weiiltb, greater ability to purchase, and greater increases in the value of residential sites. Need any more be said. The capitalist on the hunt for a profitable investment ; tho merchant seeking an acre upon which to build his mansion; tho clerk desirous to find a site for a comfortable dwelling-house; and the artisan anxious to lay the foundation for a modest cottage for his wife and little will each and all find their wants supplied in the property now to be sold. Tjet them inspect it and they will admit the fact. The terms of sale will be 10 per cent, cash deposit 10 per cent, in three months 10 per cent, in six months 10 per cent, in eighteen months And the balance of 60 per cent, can remain on MORTGAGE FOR FIVE YEARS At 7 per cent, interest. The special privilege will be allowed to each purchaser who will build a house to the value of £l5O within six months of the. day of sale, of allowing 80 per cent, of his purchase money to lie on mortgage for five years.
