SATURDAY, 21st OCTOBER, At 2 o'clock. To Gentlemen wishing to purchase choice SUBURBAN BUILDING SITES, Near the City. MOST IMPORTANT SALE Of the Well-known BELLEKNOWES ESTATE. Situated between the BOROUGHS OP ROSLYN AND MORNINGTON, Fronting the TOWN BELT OP DUNEDIN, And within QUARTER op AN HOUR'S WALK of the CHIEF POST-OFFICE. M'LANDRESS, HEPBURN AND CO. have received instructions from George Ross, Esq., to sell by auction, at their rooms, Manse street, on Saturday, 21st October, at 2 o'clock, The Belleknowes Estate, subdivided into quarter and half-acre sections, as shown on the lithographic plans, which can be obtained at the rooms of the auctioneers. The portion of tbe Estate to be offered at the first sale surrounds the old Belleknowes House and the newly-erected residence of tbe proprietor, and comprises some of the most valuable and charming building sites, which cannot be equalled in or around Dunedin. In placing Belleknowes on the market, it is the desire of the Proprietor to give it a high character as a Suburban Township, and to establish it as the most fashionable and healthy locality to reside in near Duuedin. To give effect to this, the Proprietor has not so much considered his own interest as that of purchasers and future residents, as will be seen from the following facts, to which particular attention is drawn :—: — WIDTHS OF STREETS AND FORMATION. A very large proportion of this valuable property, consisting of an area of 10£ acres, has been taken up in the formation of streets throughout the Estate, which are all of a very exceptional width — viz., SIXTY-SIX AND FIFTY FEET, formed half width and metalled twenty feet, which is certainly a special feature in the Sale of the Property, as streets of such a width cannot be found in any of the numerous townships around Dunedin. The extra width of the streets should considerably tend to make it a very healthy locality. To facilitate intending purchasers in finding the different Sections each side of the street lines has been cut, leaving the pegs easily traced. Special attention is drawn to the fact that the streets are now being formed and metalled, and will be finished without delay, thus giving good roads for the cartage of building material. SIZE OP SECTIONS : In subdividing the different blocks, great care has been taken to give each section a commanding view and good street frontage. The sections, with a few exceptions, are QUARTER-ACRES AND HALF-ACRES, so laid off that purchasers can secure a block of any size, having in many iustances a double frontage. This snould afford an opportunity to those who intend to erect a HIGH-CLASS STYLE OF RESIDENCE. SITUATION : A visit to the Estate by those who are not already familiar with it will at once convince them of its advantageous and grand position. From the many private applications to the proprietor for years past to purchase special sites throughout the Estate, it is quite evident the locality is well-known. It is unnecessary to make any special mention of the great extent of scenery and charming view the property possesses. They cannot be surpassed. ACCESS : The Estate is within quarter of an hour's walk of the town by Maclaggan street. Fortunately, however, there are many convenient ways of reaching the property — at present by the Mornington busses, a number of which ply regularly from the City ; also by the MORNINGTON AND ROSLYN TRAMWAYS, the Ternrni of which are within three minutes' walk of the Estate, as can been seen from the key-plan. The easy tramway communication should now boa consideration t® many in town who prefer living in the suburbs, but could not do on account of the previous inconvenient mode of access. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Tkhms : One-fifth cash, the balance by promissory notes at 6, 12, IS, 24, 30, and 36 months, bearing interest at 7 per cent, per annum ; or one-fourth cash, balance, to remain on mortgage for three years at 7 i-er cent., at the option of the purchaser.
