• Wellington’s landmark “Painted Lady” property on the slopes of Mt Victoria has been sold by tender after multiple offers were presented.

Listing agent Craig Lowe of Lowe & Co Realty says the sale was strongly contested following a campaign that generated high interest – the property had more than 18,000 hits on TradeMe and more than 200 visitors went through the house.

Both the current and new owners say the sale price, as expected, was “significantly in excess” of the RV, which is $800,000. When the property was listed, the agent said he expected it to go for “double or more than double” that figure.
