1%20IMG_3768.jpgSky-high property prices may make it impossible for most of us to buy a house in San Francisco or New York City, but for a mere $2.2 million you can get a whole Brazilian city. An abandoned one, yes, but one with 70 houses, a 22 room hotel, a grocery store and much more. It’s like playing dollies!

Located in Southeast Brazil, in the state of Minas Gerais, the ghost town has but one inhabitant: an engineer named Nilton Braz, who takes care of the place and is in charge of the sale, according to Spain’s 20 Minutos.

The city, built 35 years ago to house the workers on the Jaguará dam project has 70 houses, a 22-room hotel, a grocery store, a town square, a school, , tiene 70 casas, un hotel de 22 habitaciones, un supermercado, plaza, escuela, a church and paved streets…

The best part? It’s never been lived in.

According to 20 Minutos, there have been offers to buy the city from as far away as the U.S. and Germany.

Check out the town’s website: I think I even see some swimming pools in the photos.
