Perhaps the most frequently inquired after house in Wairarapa is a derelict mansion that sits atop a ridge in the Ahiaruhe district, across the road from Stonehenge Aotearoa. It must surely be the most photographed building in Wairarapa.
It has all the requisites to become a local legend. It sits in a very prominent position, high above the road from Carterton to Martinborough, and the many people who visit Stonehenge Aotearoa pass by it. It has a desolate feel - many are sure that it has a tragic history and insist that it is a house haunted by the specter of a woman killed in its confines many years earlier. Others insist it is built on the remains of an old Maori village and the spirits of generations of ancestors visit at night.
The reality is slightly more prosaic than that, although one element of the strong myths that have built up about his abandoned homestead may actually be true. The house may have seen deaths.
The story starts in Palmerston North, where the house was constructed in 1925, for the ex-medical superintendent of Palmerston North Hospital, Dr G.A Forrest. Doctor Forrest was born in Motherwell, Scotland, the son of a doctor, and trained at Edinburgh University. In 1911 he came to New Zealand, working at Oxford, Canterbury then served three years in World War One with the New Zealand Medical Corps. She he returned he took up the position of medical superintendent of Palmerston North Hospital before resigning and working in private practice in the house he built in Broadway Avenue, then called Broad Street.
He was not to work in the house for long, dying in October 1929. The house was subsequently owned by two more doctors (Dr Wilson and Dr. Swallow), both of whom used the building as a surgery and residence, until 1972. In 1984 it became the legal offices of Fitzherbert Abraham & Co. By then the garage had been demolished and a brick wall constructed along the front. In 1986 the house was removed to Ahiaruhe by a local farmer.
The building was shifted in two pieces, and it took some time before the second story was added to the ground floor. Before it could be completed, family difficulties led to the project being abandoned, and the house now sits along and forlorn on the top of a ridge, overlooking the Wairarapa plain and the Tararua Range, and open to the weather from all directions.

I used to go past this house every day on the school bus between Masterton and Martinborough every day back in the 90s. Always thought it looked like some creepy dolls house...still think that when ever I am back down that way and happen to see it
What school did you go to? That's cool how the bus route went through the back roads.
@@Occy454 St Matts for a bit and also WaiColl
It burnt down!
Dam I thought you may have put the drone in the top level. 😥 have explored this place many times but never went upstairs. Drone is a great idea and awesome views man.
Hi Allen, the top level is definitely not a safe place, that's why I did not go there, please don't do it. Cheers ✌😁
Have you ever saw or heard things in this old house ?
@@RicardoBorgo81 I didn't see anything haunted bout that ol house lol. You wanna see a haunted house just come visit me but I'm in america lol .
I captured a very scary photo on one of the doorways in this house sadly I can't share the picture here.
I was hoping for the same thing I’ve explored it but no access to top floor hoping someone with a drone would do it
The whole of Aotearoa is haunted! You only nd to look into the history of the pakehas an what they did to maori to understand!
For real I just came out of 2 maori wars paths on the British 15mins ago on UA-cam,crying my eyes out tainui and waitara...
And also what Maori did to Maori, Brutal!
House prices off the chart. That might be an affordable place. What’s the BEO?
BEO is not the problem, first you will need to get the house inspection report 😁
What happened to this house to cause it being abandoned?
It was moved from one town to another, and the cost to repair the damage from the move (the size meant they had to move it in pieces) was too much after they fell into financial difficulty. It's not haunted at all, just expensive
this is the scariest house ive seen as a kid
I sleeped in that house alone at night and ain't nothing happen bro that hakatere house ain't haunted
whats the rent a week?
Whoever burnt it down needs to be charged
I know!
It was burnt down last night. Very sad.
It looks like a house that was never finished, like they ran out of money
A doctor and his wife moved it there to do up. But not long after the split up. Nothing was ever done
Nope what the story was a woman and a man were married, and when they split up, they left the house to see who would get it, but then they left it
Howd you get permission to enter the house? Great vid by the way 👍
Hi zaca. I know the owner of the house. He lives near to the house. I am glad you liked the video. Cheers bro 😉
Sucks to think it’s gone now 🥲
