Woman accidentally buys entire neighbourhood of 84 homes instead of one after typo

A homeowner unwittingly became the legal owner of an entire neighbourhood of 84 homes after a "copy and paste" typo error saw her pick up $50 million of property by mistake.

The woman splashed out $594,481 (£489,617.23) on her dream home but upon filing the papers was told a major error appears to have happened and the name for home included an extra 84 properties and two common spaces.

She was told documents showed she legally owns "lots 1 through 85 ... and Common Areas A and B." Many of the homes had already been sold before the error.
