Mellonsfolly Ranch is located on the Central Plateau of the North Island amidst 405ha (more or less) of unspoiled native bush. It's also home to Old West Town, a meticulously crafted replica of an 1890s frontier town blended with modern-day luxury.

The craftmanship and authentic decor of the town's ten themed buildings will certainly impress. There's a licensed saloon, a courthouse that doubles as a movie theatre, a sheriff's office, a general store, a hotel, billiard's saloon as well as accommodation for up to 27 guests. The commercial kitchen and laundry make catering and housekeeping easy for hosting groups.

There's a full list of chattels including western memorabilia and equipment including a chuck wagon, cannon, clay bird shooting machine and tee pees to enhance the western experience. A separate three-bedroom home on the property is ideal for staff or overflow accommodation, as well as two cottages and a commercial shed.

The Central Plateau is one of the country's newest year-round playgrounds offering snow sports at neighbouring Mt Ruapehu or indulge in hunting, fishing, horse-trekking, mountain biking, and swimming in the rivers that wind their way through the valleys.

Ownership provides plenty of opportunity - a private haven from the comings and goings of the world or a unique tourism venture, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own something very special.
