Got $250,000? You can buy this ghost town in the middle of nowhere:
As real estate ads go, Rocky Bar's is a browser-stopper.
"Always wanted a ghost town?" it asks. "What a way to amaze your friends and family! The entire town of Rocky Bar, Idaho, is for sale, and what a ‘ghoulish' deal it is."
An entire town — yours for $250,000, mineral and timber rights included.
Downside: it's in Idaho. Link - via A Welsh View

//had to speak up
downside: you have to pay in potatoes.
Idaho is beautiful alright. So is Montana, South Dakota, Utah. Real party states and all.
It's going to be coastal after all the oceans rise anyway. So laugh now, suckers.

The entire town was not for sale only 1/2 or a little over 8 acres which included the hotel, jail house and yes, timber and mining rights. Be careful! In some of Idahos roughest country, impassible in winter and early spring. Spent many a week-ends in Rocky Bar.
