Prominent Hataitai property for sale
A Hataitai house with a rich history and some interesting architecture is for sale.
The six bedroom, three bathroom property at 2 Konini Rd extends over 360 square metres, and sits on 825sqm land. Its current RV is $1,010,000.
Built some time after 1908 by Wellington developer, and one time Mayor of Auckland’s Onehunga, John James Boyd, it was one of several homes Boyd owned on Konini Rd.
In his retirement, Boyd decided that he wanted to set up a zoo in Whanganui. He imported animals from around the world, displaying them at enclosures in what was then a thriving port town, and eventually in Auckland.
It’s possible the properties on Konini Rd were built to fund Boyd’s menageries, says Jury.
