An ancient volcano in Mangere dubbed Pukaki Lagoon Explosion Crater is up for sale. John Prangley is the owner of the land (62-hecaters property on Pukaki Rd.) and would like to sell it as one lot. However, if the property is not sold as one lot, he will consider offers on individual lots.
The sale includes 26 hectares of freehold land circling and sloping down to 36.3 hectares of the leasehold land-containing carter, which has been farmed in conjunction with the surrounding freehold land.
A drilling program undertaken by Victoria University’s School of Earth Sciences has determined the crater is between 80,000 and 100,000-years-old. The crater is well preserved and relatively unspoilt by urban development.
Marty Roestenburg from Bayleys Manukau is handling the sale and the tenders for the property will close on 4 April 2007.
If the mere thought of possessing a personal volcanic crater makes you go hmmm, I suppose you have a chance here.
