For sale - village with pub, 40 people

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – Stressed-out city executives looking to get away from it all have the chance to buy their own rural village in New Zealand, complete with a pub and population of 40.

Otira, a hamlet on the rainy west coast of New Zealand's South Island, is on the market for $NZ1 million ($715,000).

Current owners Bill and Christine Hennah bought the rundown village in 1998 after passing through and "feeling sorry for it," Christchurch-based newspaper The Press reported on Friday.

They paid $NZ80,000 ($56,000) for the hotel or pub, school, railway station, town hall and 18 houses making up the village near the Arthur's Pass National Park that dates back to 1923.

The village developed when the Otira railway tunnel was opened, and during its heyday was home to about 600 workers and their families.

But the couple, now aged in their 60s, say they no longer have the energy to run the hotel. They are asking $NZ350,000 for the hotel or $NZ1 million for the whole lot.

"We need someone to build it up again. There is a lot of potential and opportunity," Christine Hennah told The Press.

So, who wants to start a pool to buy the town? It'd be awesome!

sit around in a hotel pub I own and get drunk with the tourist all day, sounds like a retirement plan to me.

Exactly. I'll be so skilled, and I'll wear a golden ghille suit so people know how awesome I am. And use a golden Deagle instead of a sniper rifle.

[Dyakovo]

If Lacky's in, I'll help. Can we use some of the tax money to get an old-style pirate ship?

YES! And we can decide how to run it through NSG!

First things first, Lackey isn't allowed to drink for free in the pub...

Pure torture. Horrendous. I didn't expect this from you, Dyakovo.

I'm not sure where I stand on it.

[Dyakovo]

You can be Duke, I just want to be the town's Sorcer. *nods*

Damn you that's my job!

YOU LIE!

BABY KILLER! Hay wait ... ... You're not Panzerjaeger!

No but I'm a Republican.

I only have room in my old heart to forgive one person for that.

Dya likes me, why can't you?

You're only allowed one...
I got the assignment.

I like it because it's torture, but hate it because it targets Lacky.

I'll chip in, but I want to be Secretary of embezzlement the Treasury.

Oh God... ok this is starting to turn into a bad idea....

Lacky: Tax the peasants!
Natapoc: Death to the man, I mean death to us!
Sib: Get rid of all the taxes! The economy will do better!
Kayliea: Stupid men!

Cat-Tribes: "Legally, under New Zealand law, our limits are-"
90% of the forum loses interest.

Don't worry, I gather this place is in Canterbury. They tend to not put up with people who can complete whole sentences. (Sorry Cat tribe).

You wouldn't rather kill people?

[Greed and Death]

Holy freaking shit, I just had an IDEA.


MAX!!!

Your a rich author. Buy NSG that village and run it like one of your books.
Then we NSGers can like have our get togethers there and stuff.

while i don't know mr barry personally, from my contact with others,
i believe i can safely say, that with very few exceptions, author = rich, is something of a fantasy.

(he's also probably damd near broke from keeping this place going, just as a guess)
