The pyramid-like Pulemelei Mound in Samoa, identified as the largest ancient structure in Polynesia, is for sale.
The structure is located on a piece of land covering more than 1000 acres and identified as the largest freehold property on Samoa, which has now been put on the market, either as a single block or as nine separate lots.
The Samoa Observer reports that the Savaii island property, owned by O.F.Nelson Properties Limited, has been listed on the open market since 1 March 2020 and prospective buyers have until June 1 to make a bid.
“The property’s key features include rainforests, waterfalls, ocean views and ancient archaeological sites that would lend itself to a variety of endeavours such as hospitality, agribusiness, real estate development, research facilities,”marketing material for the sale reads.
“For many years, Letolo Plantation was one of the largest beef producers on the island supplying shops and markets across Samoa.”
“In the right hands, the potential new owners could greatly influence and shape the economic future of the region or create a private oasis for his or her personal enjoyment,” the company’s statement reads.
The land has been the subject of some unsuccessful legal wrangles in the district of Palauli, especially with surrounding villages who claim it to be traditional ancestry land.
