Applications to run Great Orme farm received from as far away as New Zealand, Canada and Switzerland.
More than 2,000 applications have been received to run a farm on the Great Orme - with expressions of interest coming in from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark.
Phones at the National Trust went into meltdown on Wednesday when it was revealed the charity were looking for someone to take over Parc Farm in Llandudno.
By the end of Wednesday, they had received 1,600 applications and have now had more than 2,000, according to a Trust spokesman
Some particularly keen applicants even drove to the 140-acre property overlooking the Victorian resort town.
A spokesman for the Trust said: “On Wednesday, we were having more than 100 enquiries an hour.
“It is still very busy even now with applications. We’re now probably getting more like 30 an hour.
“Applications have been received from Canada, Austria, Australia, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand and of course all across the United Kingdom.
“There has even been some press interest in Tokyo and Brazil.
“We’ve had BBC Mundo (the BBC’s Latin America branch) asking for details.
“It truly has gone worldwide and it’s safe to say we were overwhelmed initially.”
