THE LONG-LOOKED-FOR SUBDIVISION OF THIS GREAT PROPERTY
MACDONALD, WILSON AND CO. are favoured with instructions from the owners, to sell by public auction, in their Exchange Land Auction Rooms, No 84, Lambton Quay, m the City of Wellington, on THURSDAY, 27th NOVEMBER, 1902, At 2.30 o'clock p.m.,
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTYFOUIt VILLA BUILDING SECTIONS, forming portion of the magnificent Freehold Property situated in, the centre of the Lower Hutt, known far and wide as THE TAINE ESTATE '
The history of this great property is bound up with the history of the City and District of Wellington, and the life--work of one man. Selected in the early days of the settlement by Mr. James Tame, one of the first merchants of the City of Wellington, it had remained in his possession without a break until the present year, when the necessity at his great age of making family settlements led to its transfer to certain members of the family. No mortgage or encumbrance has ever marked the parchment forming the original grant from the Crown to Mr. Tame. A clean title in one man for over fifty years, and that man still living hale and hearty. Truly a great record in a young country for both man and property.
The TAINE ESTATE is part of the original Section No. 29 on the Map of the Hutt District, containing 105^ Acres. It is a beautiful block of land, level as a billiard-table, situated in the town of the Lower Hutt, within two minutes' walk of the Post Office, and ten minutes' walk of the Railway Station, and immediately opposite the Mechanics' Institute and Public Library.
The two new roads — King's, Road and Green's Road— through the TAINE ESTATE, will be 66ft in width, formed, metalled, footpathed, kcrbed, and asphalted. The Middle Waiwotu Road, running through the estate, has been straightened and widened, and will in future form one of the great thoroughfares of the. Hutt, equal in ©very respect to the Main Hutt Road through the town.
As the Borough of the Hutt grows in population and importance, the central position of the TAINE ESTATE must make itself felt more and more every year, and take the shape of increased values. For business purposes the lands comprising the TAINE ESTATE Trill prove exceptionally well worth purchaso, as in ten years' time they will, in American parlance, be "the hub of the business: wheel" of the Hutt. That this is true may be gauged by the fact that business sites contiguous to the Main Road frontages of the TAINE ESTATE have recently been sold at £13 per foot frontage.
In the subdivision of the TAINE ESTATE ereat care has been taken to ure^serve the hieh-class residential character of the Borousrh of the Hntt. No Section of the TATNE ESTATE will be offered of less area than one-eiehth of an acre or havine less than 40 feet frontaee to a main road or street bv a dpr>th of some 136 feet, with abundance of air gnace.
