Slices of West Coast land, most abandoned after the gold rush, are up for sale for the first time in more than 100 years.
Thirty-eight sections in Charleston, 30km south of Westport, are being sold in 13 parcels by the Buller District Council, on behalf of the Crown.
Some of the sections contain pristine native bush, others border coastal State Highway 6, some are as small as 12 square metres – hence have been bundled into parcels ranging from 101sqm to 11.83 hectares. The average size of a house in New Zealand is 149sqm, according to QV.
