Mellonsfolly Ranch is a wild west replica resort city in New Zealand.
The ranch is built on a 900-acre lot in the North Island’s Central Plateau, between Taumarunui and Ohakune.[1] It includes ten period themed buildings and honey making business.[2] [3]
The town was built in 2006 by cowboy enthusiast John Bedogni as a replica of an 1860s Wyoming frontier town.[4]
Mellonsfolly Ranch was used as the set for the 2011 Good for Nothing film.[5]
The town is owned by Rob Bartley, an aluminium car parts manufacturer. In 2020, he put the town up for sale with a price tag of $7.5 million USD.[6]
