Fans of the saga ‘The Lord of the Rings’ now have the opportunity to buy a mansion in New Zealand where some scenes of the first two films of the trilogy were recorded.
The residence entered the real estate market with a cost of $5.2 million dollars. The place is not only a reference for having been the setting for scenes from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ but also has much more history.
This Property was built in 1924 by architect Heathcote Helmore in a Georgian Colonial style. Its construction took place after the old mansion of the Elgar family was devastated by a fire. The Elgar family lived in this mansion from 1924 to 1949.
The Elgar Family sold the mansion in 49 to the United States Embassy and they stayed until the end of the 50. It is currently in good condition, although from 50 to 2007 was quite neglected.
The main house has an area of 9,600 square feet distributed in eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, library, wine room and other amenities.
In addition to the main house there is a garage with capacity for three vehicles and a guest house with all the necessary amenities.
The exterior of the property is the most striking for its well-maintained gardens and other details such as fountains, lawns to play croquet and more.
