An entire town, complete with a manuka honey business, is currently for sale in New Zealand - and some rich foreigners already have their eye on it. Mellonsfolly Ranch, a small town located in the Central Plateau, between Taumarunui and Ohakune, is an Old West Town that looks straight out of a western movie. The town, a replica of an 1860s Wyoming frontier town, belongs to Rob Bartley, who owns an aluminium car parts manufacturer with factories in New Zealand and Canada. It also comes with a manuka honey business. The current owner says the ranch makes good money, especially from its honey business but also as a hospitality venue.
