Behold! You could be the owner of an entire town for the same price as the average detached home in London. That's right, a cowboy ghost town with lots of storied history complete with a two-bedroom emporium and a former brothel has hit the market for £1.3 million.
This tourist destination comes with all the attractions in the square included in the asking price, including two existing businesses, three additional commercial rental spaces, a storage building, and two public restrooms. Meanwhile, the average sold price for a detached property in London in the last 12 months is £1,326,919. That's quite a bargain isn't it?
Family-owned and operated for over 40 years, this old town sits on nearly a quarter-acre of land and spans a total of 5,340 square feet. The two-bed emporium includes one bathroom, a full kitchen, and a washer-dryer unit. Most of the buildings in Old Town Square date back to around 1900, and the boardwalk is the original 1875 San Juan County Courthouse which was moved from Howardsville, CO.
The listing includes Swanee’s Old Mine Sluice, where kids can play at mining for gems, and the Emporium gift shop and old-timey photo studio which was originally Silverton’s first brothel.
‘Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will be sure to bring fun and cherished memories,’ the listing reads. Listing agent Olivia Barrett said, ‘It’s just a really neat little spot. There’s a different entrance that you can enter the single-family residence. It oversees Blair Street, which is a great location. There are great views of Kendall Mountain. If somebody is looking to escape their normal life in the city and they’re wanting to do something different, they really could move here and live in the unit and run the businesses. They could work all summer long and take winter off as they please.’
The aesthetic is quite strong and the possibilities are endless. It's a great opportunity for western movie fans and those who want to get a lot of bang for their buck. Plus, with the train from Durango to Silverton a block away, there's a lot of foot traffic that could be used to an advantage.
Do you have a dream of owning an entire town? Well, now's your chance! With the average sold price for a detached property in London in the last 12 months being £1,326,919, this cowboy ghost town with a two-bedroom emporium and a former brothel could be yours for the same price. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will be sure to bring fun and cherished memories.
