HOUSES AND LAND FOR SALE BUNGALOWS FROM £550 n.UIP-PKOOF QOXCRETE JJOUSES. CHEAP. UNIQUE. PERMANENT. THE old bogey that concrete houses retain damp has been killed in these do vs of scientific buildinsr design, and MESSRS. OHMS BROTHERS. Building Contractors, of Balmoral Road. Dominion Road, guarantee that all concrete houses erected bv them are damn-proof. The secret of making a concrete home damn-proof lies in making an adeauate air space between the outside and the interior lining of the house, and not less than 3-tin. is left by OHMS BROTHERS between the concrete and the wall-board. This enables air to circulate freely and take a wav any moisture. The fact that the firm uses double-cavity concrete blocks assists also. Concrete is as cheap to build with as wood and is considerably cheaper than brick. It is fireproof and. therefore, the insurance premiums on a concrete house are much less than those of a wooden building. The borer is not interested in concrete, which does not require painting and is more durable than wood. For £6OO MESSRS. OHMS BROS, are building COMPLETE FOURROOMED BUNGALOWS, fitted with porcelain bath and hand-bowl, electric hot-water service, electric light, copper, built-in wardrobes, verandah, etc. One contract now in hand is for the erection of 50 houses for the Lower Hutt Housing Committee at Wellington. Readers contemplating erecting their own bungalow mav see sample houses in various Auckland suburbs bv arrangement with MESSES. OHMS BROS., AT -23 BALMORAL ROAD. DOMINION ROAD. £13,000 EQUITY IN AN HISTORIC SHEEP FARM AN IDEAL PROPOSITION FOE SPORTING CLUB ON THE SHORES OP THE BEAUTIFUL BAY OF ISLANDS— that charming spot selected by our early pioneers as the best endowed in New Zealand—are many hundreds of acres of rich and fertile lands. These, prior to British settlement, were occupied by the Maoris, whose unrestricted choice prompted their selection of only the best of the land. The British went to this farm —then considered a select holding—to meet the most important chiefs in New Zealand, and sign the famous Treaty of Waitangi. The removal of the Capital of New Zealand to Auckland—and later to Wellington—caused the incoming population to settle further South. However, notwithstanding the popularity gained by these more southern lands, the Bay of Islands is now fast coming into its own. The wonderful improvement in road and railway access, the exquisite winterless climate, the marvellous growth of feed that surprises so many Southerners, the health of the stock, and the world-wide attention that is being directed to the Bay of Islands by “the most wonderful fishing in all the seven seas,” have now forced on sheep and cattle men an appreciation of the wonderful advantages this district offers. No better sheep and cattle country exists in New Zealand. Lambing is very early, highly productive, and therefore highly profitable, because the winter growth of feed puts them in the earliest markets in prime condition. The term “the Winterless North,” is no idle boast. What is probably the finest holding in this district is now for sale, and comprises: 9 OpTA ACRES OF ALL EXCELLENT AND ESSENTIALLY HEALTHY SHEEP fWjOtH/ AND CATTLE COUNTRY - . It all lies well, is all rideable, is exceedingly well watered, and comprises much flat and easy rolling country, while the balance is fine grassed ridges and easy gullies, interspersed with numerous clumps of puriri and native bush shelter. It has wintered 2,500 sheep and 300 bullocks, but the owner has never worked it to anything like its capacity. With judicious stocking and easy improvement the carrying capacity could be doubled. It is stfbdivided with sheep-proof fences into 21 paddocks. A fine old house containing 10 rooms and built of solid oak and cedar—a veritable object lesson in solidity—provides a comfort not found in the modern bungalow. The outbuildings and equipment—which include men’s rooms, wool shed, dip, yards, etc.—are all good and up-to-date. This fine property is only 2 miles from the wharf and railway, and one day’s drive from the Freezing Works and Saleyards. A wonderful panorama of Bay of Islands stretches in front of the station, which has 3 miles of sea frontage. The popularity of deep-sea fishing, attracting as it does many hundreds of visitors annually, has set a value of from £SO to £l4O per quarter acre section on adjoining frontage, most of which is built on. 240 sections with one chai-' of sea frontage by 2i chains deep, sold at only £SO each, would provide £12,000, and still leave an excellent sheep farm of over 2,250 acres. However, the owner has decided to give up farming, and has informed his agents, SALESMEN LTD., of 4 SWANSON STREET, AUCKLAND, that he will sacrifice the great prospective value of his property in order to take his family to the city. He therefore authorises our consideration of any bona fide offer in the vicinity , of £7 per acre.
