AI summary
A unique Whanganui property is for sale, featuring a fully functional miniature railway built by owner Ian Jones. The Castlecliff section was developed over 11 years after Jones accidentally won a locomotive on Trade Me.
The impressive setup on the 759m² site includes:
- 370 metres of track
- 10 tunnels and two bridges
- A permanent house bus
Now selling due to health reasons, the railway itself could be sold separately if a buyer only wants the land.

There are 10 tunnels.

It's been a lifelong hobby for Jones.
