New Zealand’s Boutique American Wild West Town Is for Sale

There are plenty or fabulous and well-designed architectural marvels we want to own, but few seem as lucrative as New Zealand’s Boutique American Wild West Town that’s for sale right now. Situated on 900 acres in the Ruatiti Valley of New Zealand’s North Island–that’s about seven hours south of Auckland by car–Mellonsfolly Ranch is a truly unique property that recreates an American Wild West Town complete with distinct homes, period-themed buildings and an astounding attention to detail. As they describe it, it’s “Currently operating as a boutique hotel, the Old West Town appears rough and ready on the surface, yet has all the features of a luxury destination. With overnight accommodation for 22, guests are treated to a trip back in time – complete with an authentic and licensed saloon, a courthouse that doubles as a cinema, a sheriff’s office and a billiards lounge, all strung together by a well-worn boardwalk.” In other words, if you have a handful of millions to invest, you can escape to the great landscapes of New Zealand while also exploring the Deadwood-ian world of the American West as you manage a Wild West theme park of your own.
