A property buyer on the Otago Peninsula was not dissuaded by a neighbour's warnings of rural stench and animal sex.
A 1.5ha harbour-view property in Highcliff Rd has been sold in recent weeks.
When it originally went on the market, Pieter Bloem, who lives across the road, placed a sign on the road outside his pig farm reminding interested parties what they were in for.
It reads: "Notice. This property is a farm. Farms have animals. Animals make funny sounds, smell bad, and have sex outdoors. Unless you can tolerate noise, odours and outdoor sex, don't buy a property next to a farm."
