A crumbling South Island estate that had a starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster and was at the centre of abuse allegations has hit the market as a liquidation sale.
Campbell Park Estate, in Otago, is being sold by the liquidators of a company linked to one of the directors of the failed Mainzeal company.
The 79ha property is about the size of a small town and comes with a gothic-style castle, 32 homes, stables, an old jailhouse, a gymnasium, and an underground cave.
It memorably featured in the 2005 hit fantasy film The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and has hit the headlines in recent years over allegations of abuse at a school run on the estate.
