This hilltop mansion, formerly owned by the rugby great Jonah Lomu, has come on to the market for the first time in 16 years. (Video first screened February 2020)
A Maupuia mansion once owned by the late Kiwi rugby legend Jonah Lomu was the most viewed property on Trade Me last year, clocking up 196,000 views. The five-bedroom, Mediterranean-style house on the hill with expansive views across Wellington city and harbour featured on
Stuff in February, and is still for sale by negotiation. For most of last year, offers were invited over $3 million. The house has a rateable valuation of $2.43m. Lomu bought the house for just over $1m at the end of 1999, when he was just 25. He sold the property at the end of 2003, not long before he underwent a successful kidney transplant. At the time he was living with his second wife, Fiona, whom he married in 2003.
