- One of Kelburn’s first homesteads will soon be up for sale, ushering in a new chapter for a building that has already been converted to a nunnery, a training college and student accommodation.
Built in the early 1900s, the 670 square-metre homestead, which sits on a 1622sqm site, has a rateable value of $2.1 million today.
The owner of the homestead on Ngaio Rd, Heather Ware, said the house was original designed by Scotsman James Bennie, a prolific architect who was also responsible for designing the Paramount Theatre and Oriental Bay Tea Kiosk.
