Getting on the property ladder is expensive, but it doesn't have to be, there are abandoned places around the world where you can buy a whole town, city or village for less than the price an average home in most countries.
Ok you'd be lonely, but you could make yourself the mayor, you wouldn't have to worry about neighbours, and you could have parties as loud as you wanted, but even though some of these ghost towns are ridiculously cheap, they do come with some rather odd conditions.

I literally am watching the guy who bought cerro gordo and this reminds me of it
Note: I have not watched this dude in a year, I stopped right after I made this comment
I too, enjoy seeing Brent with his town. I wish him all the best.
I have been following Brent for awhile now.. Ghost Town Living
I wait in anticipation for each new video
Me too, love it!
i think a lot of people are linked to this by youtube because they watch ghost town living
The problem in the U.S. is all the rules and requirements to get stuff. I found offers for "free" everything online and when I called all the numbers, all the rules prevented me from getting anything. The rules cancel almost everyone out. They should not offer free things, when it is nearly impossible to get it.
'Murica!
Welcome to the land of the free!!!
Don't forget to take out about 5 million in insurance for all the dumbshits who'll show up just to get themselves hurt and file a lawsuit against you.
Remember: "If it sounds too good to be true." UA-cam is full of bogus videos and health ads. In fact, they can't run these specious ads on national TV.
This is a common misconception all round the world. There are homes in Italy for one euro but they must be renovated. Renovation costs? Half a million.
You mentioned a ghost town in Colorado with a tragic past at the start of the video but didn't actually cover it.
That's what I was wanting to see
It's possibly a former mining town. Mining towns always have a tragic history. Some tragedies are due to the ores not being plentiful over a period of time. The horrific ones involve ground and water contamination.
Yeah I wanted to know
Thatt one in col people still live their and some of the buildings are being restored
Yep i couldnt remember the name of it their are some towns that are for sale tho but not that one their was 1 by silverton not to long ago and winterfest knocked out another one because as a kid i lived their so yea they didnt do their home work
A town that is claimed to be free but you are required to renovate it is simply not free. Violates the definition of “free”.
But if you got a free phone, then had to pay to be on a network, would it not still have been free?
@@aragornthebrave dude a phone network bill is nothing compared to the price to renovate this mess , thats really stretching it
@@hardanalljr.3138 The amount of money is irrelevant. I was giving a comparative example.
@@aragornthebrave thats stretching it severely , thats taking advantage of a comparative model and using it to fuck people over where as a phone deal is bringing in new customers at a fair price
HardAnall Jr. it isn’t stretching it at all, it is a perfect comparison. The value of a town is is 1000’s time that of a phone, just as the cost of renovation is 1000’s times more expensive as the phone plan is.
With the rise of "work from home", these old remote places will in my mind slowly come back to life in a coming decade.
If they have decent internet - some places do not even have running water.
@@torytrae1974 Elon Musk is already solving that problem with Starlink. ;)
Bro you cannot get fast enough internet there
@ Mico
Yeah for free at the cost and the pressure of investing in and repairing/ restoring the same NOW!
There's a reason why even For Free is too expensive/ impossible to buy.
so basically ghost town living here on yt?
I'd buy a town as long as terms were reasonable and I could care less about sketchy history so I'm good there.
You can have this town get at it son
I would love to have it too!
)ll)))lllppllllp ppl
Oh ya who cares about all that, ill take it
Me too, dont care about stories
3:03 "You might get lucky and find a little bit of gold." Well, for one, that nugget is more than just a little bit of gold. However, the bigger issue is are you buying MINERAL RIGHTS or the associated mining claim that allows you to gather said gemstones or gold from your property? When you purchase property, mineral rights do not always convey. So, finding a nugget like that might just mean that you have to turn it over to the person who owns those rights. Now, wouldn't that suck?
I thought if you own the land you own the rights of what’s on it
That would be a huge disappointment to not have mineral rights omg , that's such a good point glad you mentioned it.
In the words of the old miner's creed: "Finders keepers, fucko"
@@deathwizard1996 not always, you may not even own the mineral, gas or oil rights. A lot of times realtors will even lie and say they can not even determine who owns those rights. When looking at any property for a homestead you have to come with a massive list of questions as they will not share info unless you ask. I remember one time I was interested in this one place only to find out they had some stupid restriction that you could not have anymore than three chickens - no joke. There are places they will not let you have aquaponic systems, but you would not know unless you asked ahead of time. So I learned over the years to have a long list of questions that email to the listing agent to get answered before even looking, because as I said I have found places that will list a property as no restrictions when in fact there are many. It is amazing how many places will not allow tiny homes because there are minimum square footage requirements, or the house can not be on wheels . . .
@@theemptyatom thanks for telling me this because it is hard to understand what is important to ask
For life, sounds like a town prison...
Yeh, and I can't see how they could enforce it. Are they going to drag you back if you leave? It would violate human rights.
@@aragornthebrave I would assume if you leave you'd have to pay back the 10k
ehm... no? You will live just as you would right now, you would just not be allowed to purchase and move into a different town (You could still move into a different home inside this town). Personally, I never planned to move to a different city, to begin with, so I would have lived in my home town for life unless I got an amazing offer like this where I am literally being paid to move there AND own the town.
@Gary Fontanetta so you took your life or what?
@@RexusprimeIX or when they go on vacation dont come back worlds big hard to find a person if they good at hiding js.....but i feel your story i will be ok there i stay at home 90 percent of the time sadly now a days all i do i use to be out all the time in my 20s but ya stay home then go out with the kiddos i wonder if i own the town if i can sell places and move who ever in i choose now i can convince major companies to move head qaurters there js maybe a few rich and famous vay kay houses
A lot of small railroad towns were abandoned. They were used to be water stops for steam locomotives. After the railroads switched to diesel locomotives they were obsolete
Known as 'jerkwater towns'.
Joe Hart ... yes sir
Except Vegas. They hit it big and still growing fast. Although they get very little water rights to the Colorado river compared to CA and AZ.
@@rafaeltorre1643 … LV was a crossroads between LV and SLC. And it was from LV the Hoover dam construction was staged. So it wasn’t ever just a jerkwater town. Then came Bugsy Seigel and his associates… You know the story
,some were rail road tie storage / saw mills
The Italian town that the goverment cares to keep alive willing to pay $10,000 if I moved their for life.HOOK ME UP.

Yeah, that's the best offer of the lot outside of having no further income.
Mortisha Styles Then go.

I've been driving around the US for a year now, just trying to find a place to be. I'll take a free town, that no one can threaten to tow me for parking.
Where abouts are you now?
Yes, where r u at now, David?
Duc de Richleau where in Texas?
@Duc de Richleau wow! $500 a month tax is the same for condo fees where I am.
I have done the same thing, but ended up in New Mexico. It is dramatically less expensive than my home state Colorado. It is dry, but lots of sunshine, low humidity, decent temperatures much of the year.
Like the old saying goes, " if it's to good to be true it usually is" lol
That Lucin Phone Booth....Superman has been looking for that.
In this age of cell phones he no longer has a place to change.
It looks a lot like a one man shelter from the WWII.
Not too many people in the library, just me and a few others; we’d think he was just another homeless guy being weird when he changed
@@egpmh2891 LOL I can picture that.
Give me 10.000 I'll move in a heartbeat bringing some of my family alone we ain't got nothing here so we're game
I'm trying to buy a house in West Virginia
What would be wonderful is if the governments would take these old villages, fix them up and moved all homeless people into them.
So they could destroy them?
@@albertorozco5981 hahahahhaa yeah
Proof positive the gov.
has only bad plans.
Came to post so they could fuck it all up but someone beat me to it 😂
Actually, Lucin, Utah was purchased back in 1997 by an engineer and still owned by the man.
I'm. Mormon I'll go
It's on the market.
@@shauncampbell969😂
Getting food, fuel, and other utilities (water, electric, communications equipment) is the biggest problem. Rebuilding requires mareials and access. I think that discourages many people. It does sound good at first.
That’s why it should be up to the individual to be innovative when obtaining one of these properties. Also a need factor has to be in place, sure while some of the properties I’ve seen in this video is pretty much history, there’s still a lot of homeless people that could benefit from properties like these.
@@heartofthunder1440 the homeless people usually have no mechanical or building skills.
St Elmo is mostly privately owned visited in 2016 a lot of snowmobiles and hunting. Still really cool to visit.
You never really own anything. It is only a temporary possession.
Cosmic.
When you buy anything of real value, car, boat, land you pay taxes on it from day one. Every year after , your state may tax a percentage of determined value.
ITALIAN TOWN I LOVE IT ,CALL ME AORA !!!@
Life is temporary...nothing you own in this temporary world
Yup. Everything belongs to god.
I’d buy the French town IF I could get past the incredible regulations of France. I’d want to be able to modernize the plumbing, HVAC, electrical and when necessary move walls and make additions to buildings. Then, I would want a 50 year business tax abatement. That is, any business I could bring into the town could avoid taxes. These businesses would then pay small a local tax that would be used to improve the infrastructure and help make the area energy independent and for future growth.
Locana, Italy?.... Hmmmm sounds like a prison sentence in a beautiful land because of their requirements. There's other reasons for that.
No lots of old small towns here are offering house for one euro to try and repopulate them
one needs a good solid positive partner in life for something like that. i am currently still single, so don’t dare to venture on my own. But if there was a community, perhaps yes. the locations in Italy are truly beautiful
No clue why people like you consider it a prison sentence. Do you intend to relocate many times right now??
You just pack all your stuff and say, "Here I come Seattle!"?
If so, then it might seem "prisony"
But, I think your misunderstanding is, they Pay you to move there and you move away, you should owe them their 10k back at minimum. I'd demand more for breaking a contract.
You just have to keep it as your primary residence. I'm not planning on suddenly uprooting everything.
You can travel all you want, etc.
Some prison.
there is a general store in Elmo that is open.
Lol they do seem to pop up in small towns
Yep,you know the story of that? I do,I've lived in Colorado all my life and spend a lot of time on the divide.
@@357mag5
What's the story?
I would go to Italy for the rest of my life and who cares about leaving
00:35 You left out the town in Colorado that nobody wants because of it's tragic past.
That town is St Elmo. People do own the houses there. Was a mining town here in Colorado. There is a store that opens up there each year during the summer. Big tourist attraction. Right in it's backyard is a 12,000Ft 4x4 mountain pass. Just in case you were unaware of the town. One of my favorite areas to be in in Colorado.
@Andy G Not really sure what the tragic past is. However there is another town here called Gillman, Co that was another huge zinc mine that polluted the water so bad they shut the entire town down and it is now a EPA superfund site. However people do make it 800ft down the side of the mountain to reach the mine at the bottom of the canyon. And there is somewhere around 70 miles worth of tunnels to explore plus all the mining stuff at the bottom. St Elmo is a very cool little town. Pretty easy to get to.
I have a video of my visit to St Elmo. It went bust because the prices of silver dropped. If you search St Elmo history there are several videos about it.

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing this! Can you do a part two?
If I could get funding on a ghost town that I could turn into an off grid school that everyone could learn from, that would be awesome! Learning from old ideas to new, experiments welcome! Funding would be the question?
Brent Miller nothing is free in life
How much funding would be needed.
@@ukanduet3209 That, I'm really not sure of? I'm sure the government would want some sort of taxes out of it unless, you could be tax exempt in someway. A number of companies could donate materials as a write off, and I'm sure that they would love to see their names as sponsors on the projects if you had an online channel about the alternative energy school. Subscribers to our channel could also be a great help with donations too! Those who attend the school would also be expected to contribute as well but, maybe some financing could be returned to them to help get some of the best ideas from the school off of the ground?Would also love to see the patent attorney experience to be a part of the show as well. Successes and failures, a true competition of which ideas can make it or not! I'd love for it to be more of a school than I would for it to be a show but, like someone else commented, nothing is free!
I would so sign up.
Brent Miller I can't believe someone on here said that because that's almost exactly what I was thinking!
"Towns no one wants to buy"
First town: "Thousands have applied to buy this town"
Gave them to the homeless and support them for one year for farming

Hell to the no
If only...
Farming is hard work. The homeless wouldn't be homeless if they had worked that hard 🙄
@@recipestotrybeforeyoudie6817 give them a chance ...
Locana, Italy sounds too good to be real.
I think, if I had the money I would buy one, it would be kind of cool, to rename it after yourself or what you want, and remodel the town to a old western town look, or fix it up however you wanted, and then try to draw attention to it some how, to repopulate it after its remodeled,
When can I leave. Italy is a beautiful country. I'm stoked, I really would love to live there.
Franklyn Nelson Go then.
Why should America let u in ? Vaticn tax to high?, Need to b American for ever and love Jesus u wanna stay in my backyard
Im ready to... I would go in a heartbeat
Sounds lovely! Locana- Italy, I'm interested. I left my home at age 17, nice Westside area of Indianapolis. 32 years in the USMC, came home to Drug dealers, Mexican cartels, and even 8-9 year old kids who carry more firepower than Police precinct! I'm ready for Solitude
Omh thank you for your service sissy
I don't know where you got your info on St. Elmo. Most of the houses are renovated for summer homes. It gets tons of tourists. I do not think the town is for sale for $84,000.
Nexttsar, I saw the part in this vid, and also know St Elmo is not for sale.
I went to watch again and show my boyfriend, and although St Elmo is mentioned in the start, the 'story' they had is no longer in this vid. They must have gotten slammed with people telling them it was a lie... ha!
If someone would pay me 10.000 to move damn sure I’ll move
Bon voyage!
@Matt especially if there no electricity
Be sure to read the small print before signing anything
@Virgen Weed the outside world is crazy enough so yah its better to take the offer
I want 10,000 too, but I'm not willing to be imprisoned in the town for the rest of my life to get the 10,000.
American: Ciao I've come to live in your beatiful town.
People of Lacano: we no speak Americiano!
I was born in Ogden but lived in Lucin until age 3. I was born 12/13/1947. The little RR section was not abandoned in 1936 as stated in video. we moved from there in 1950.
Really what do you remember about the town
Would surely like more information on these places.
If someone can play me to live somewhere I would do it in a heartbeat. How my question is how would I get out there if I don't have the money or a passport
Actually there’s one person that lives in Wittenoom, there was a short documentary on the town and the guy. He works for the government taking weather readings. As long as he doesn’t stir up the asbestos he should be fine and that’s his plan. If it were to be populated again, with extra movement it would be come deadly
That town in the Italian Alps is pretty nice, is there power? I recon it could be fixed up with the $10,000. I am retired with no pressing issues. Who do I contact? 🙂
I'm so loving that idea also.. Hey we could be neighbors!!!
LOL, love this two 😂
They both sounds very positive ❤️
I'll partner with someone on this
I'm in. When do we leave?
take me
Wouldn't but for any price? Heck they ain't met me, I've been looking for places like these that I could afford. Always loved the idea of having a town to do with as I please.
I would like. A place like this. Seriously, for my family.. sure there always a past everything has a past.. that's if I had enough funds .
Would love to find places like these and restore them as they were
That’s very very expensive
" And you could walk down the street naked, if you so wished" That is why I like living in the middle of nowhere , Oregon..I love that comment!
Why don't they ask extremely poor people to come and stay, there are people without house and willing to face whatever.
I was thinking there's lots of boat people who could make a home out of SOME of these places if they where given them for free.
They could have their own riots and protests and nobody would say boo!
I'd move to Italy... no hesitation.
sure, but you cant move somewhere else afterwards. only for holiday or trips.
Not right now though... Wait until covid 19 passed by...
I don’t want to OWN a whole town just to walk around naked, but I’ll gladly move to one, especially if the government pays me to.
I'll be your landlord, then, cause I would buy the town.
Try Cap d'Agde
More like these this is great I have ideas for an eco resort community with focus on local development and preservation I am looking for sites anywhere
Uh yes I'd move there in a heartbeat it's simplistic and beautiful I'm down there's a lot of homeless veterans all over they should offer them a place n some money it prolly would be a dream come true to someone in need of respite
@Alan formula1 So sorry you got screwed over the way you did. Unfortunately, gear usually disappears anytime it's separated from the soldier. Peace and wartime. There's always some dirtbag with no morals integrity that will take your gear. However, in a casualty situation, there's always the chance that your gear was taken off and became separated from you during transfer, admit, or triage? Just a guess as they can't place your gear on your body. Thank you for serving. You said you were hurt in Iraq, hope you applied for disability. If denied go through DAV or other Veteran organization. Something like the place in Utah would be great for Veterans as some like peace and quiet, outdoors, and just to be left alone.
Yeah like me but I'm not veteran I'm 44
Thank you for sharing
I wish you a nice Sunday evening
friendly regards Frank
I want to buy it
Being an opera lover, the town in Italy offering $10,000 to move there and try to bring it back to life? I'd love to! If there's a theater or cathedral that is usable for living and working? I believe I could do a lot to help bring that city back to life! As for living the rest of my life there, absolutely! At 56 and with the current administration here in the United States, going there would be like breaking free from a jail cell and truly being given a second chance! Please tell me more!

0:30 Ghost Town in the sky never looked better
I'd go to the one in Italy, but a Ghost Town intrigues me. I love to "rough it" and could get by without most conveniences people have to have.
Lucin isn't that where the phone rings even though it has no serve,yes I would live in locana,Italy I could fish everyday, one sounds awesome I'll buy it when I win the lottery
Locana, Italy
That’s a big YES!
This is perfect for a close knit family that wants to build their own compound. Sure it’s tough to maybe gather enough family but imagine pulling it off. You would have company, work together and turn an entire small town into yours. And then maybe sell time there as an experience like an Airbnb.
That what we're trying to do now that's what brought me to this video.
Those places are so beautiful, they totally are ! Thank you for your video, you have a nice day. Ps : That little place in France : with family and friends, flower gardens, fruit and vegetables, a fertile soil. The simple good life.

I would live in the town in St. Elmo. An would also revive the town. I would love to live there for sure
Would love to live in Italy. Even if it ment I had to live there for the rest of my life. Would go tomorrow moth in for me here.
1) Take over a town, then only allow people who work from home to move in for the first phase of restoration. Sense you own everything in town, you are the landlord. Sense the town is under your authority, you provide the governance.
2) Would I live in an Italian village for the rest of my life? Hell No!

Not all your "ghost towns" are in line with Google Maps and roadview. Locana, Italy, for instance, is hardly abandoned.
Lucin, Utah is not actually that far, by Western standards, from West Wendover, NV, or Elko, NV.
$16,000 for 40 acres of peace and silence? Not bad.
But the taxes on that much land may be a drag.
The video: towns that no one wants for any price
Also the first town: “it received thousands of applicants”
Yes I would love to live there for the rest of my life. Locals, Italy
St Elmo wasn't abandoned until the 1920s. Much of the information you have on St Elmo is not correct.
You are correct sir.
You might have peace & quiet & be alone with your thoughts but your thoughts might be:-"Arrrgh I am alone in an abandoned ghost town."
to answer your question about the one in the italian alps, YES

If I had only known!!! That town in Utah? $16,000? Rats! Five years ago, as a severe agoraphobic, I settled on a one bedroom home in a small town and decorated it in antiques.
