'Having paid $73,000 in 1998, the Hennahs put the village on the market in 2010 with an asking price of NZ$1.5 million.[8][9] No bids were received but it remained on the market. When advertised again in 2013 the sale price had dropped to NZ$1 million,[10] and it sold the following year to Lester Rowntree for an undisclosed sum, although as at 2020 the Hennahs still own the ex-school building and swimming pool.[11][12]' (Wikipedia)
