<\/p>\nA RARE opportunity has arisen for potential homeowners to buy themselves not only a new house, but an entire town, for less than the price of a property in London.<\/p>\n
Anyone who's ever had dreams of becoming a cowboy can now be the sheriff of their own wild west village.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
To do so, they'll have to move to Yandoit in Victoria, Australia, but they'll get plenty for their money if they do.<\/p>\n
The main property up for grabs is a three-bedroom home, but that comes with its own recreated 1880s settlement, modelled after Cross Creek village from the 1950s western film, The Fastest Gun Alive.<\/p>\n
The town is built on 12.5 acres of land and has a general store, a theatre, a blacksmith, a stagecoach booking office, a grain store, a butcher\u2019s, a courthouse, and a jail.<\/p>\n
There's also a chapel that comes with seven creepy residents in the shape of mannequins, all ready and in position for a service.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, there's a saloon complete with yet another mannequin, this time in the form of a barman ready to dispense drinks to patrons.<\/p>\n The house itself is completely surrounded by wilderness, including views of Mount Franklin, an extinct volcano nearby, but is very modern, with plenty of luxury.<\/p>\n The kitchen is well equipped with a double fridge, an oven, a wood-burning stove, a large pantry and a dining table.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there's also a huge cinema room, with padded reclining velvet seats and a giant screen.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It comes accompanied with a stuffed lion, as well as a working 35mm drive-in projector, which would be left for the buyers, in addition to a modern Blu-ray projector.<\/p>\n A double garage and storage shed offers more than enough room to store vehicles and anything else.<\/p>\n Although having your own town may seem great, there's one not completely inhabited by mannequins nearby.<\/p>\n Daylesford, is only a 15-minute drive away and has shops, dining, tourist destinations and anything that a person could need.<\/p>\n The home and its town is currently for sale for \u00a3760,000 (AUS $1.45m), less than plenty of homes in London, with the average house price in the capital just under \u00a3600,000, according to the Office for National Statistics.<\/p>\n was built by Chris Olver and his wife Shirley, who are selling because they're struggling to manage the property at their age.<\/p>\n They\u00a0built Cross Creek out of recycled materials Chris collected while working as a truck driver.<\/p>\n After putting it on the market earlier this year, Mr Olver described the property as a cross between "Australian colonial and the American wild west".<\/p>\n In March, he told Real Estate AU: \u201cI thought, \u2018I\u2019ll build a little building', before I knew it I had another one and then another one. It\u2019s a bit of Australian colonial with the American wild west.<\/p>\n "Yandoit is great place to live, it\u2019s quiet and beautiful.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry to be selling but at my age, 77, it\u2019s a bit hard to keep up with everything that needs to be done around here.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim McQueen, the director of McQueen Real Estate, who manage the property, told Daily Mail Australia: "I've sold amazing properties in my career but I've never sold an intact village.\u00a0<\/p>\n "It has 16-17 dwellings that have incredible detail."<\/p>\n Meanwhile these are the ten homes with the biggest price drop that you can buy now.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/newspress-collage-23533313-1692271444398.jpg\")
