In Queensland, Australia, a settlement has been put up for sale, which the media has already dubbed the smallest town in the country. For a sum comparable to the price of an apartment in a major metropolis, the buyer will receive a house, a motel, a store, a post office, and other infrastructure facilities.
In Australia, Kuladdi, one of the smallest settlements in the country located in Queensland, is up for sale. The price of the property is 400,000 Australian dollars, which is comparable to the price of an apartment in many major cities.
Formally, this is not about selling the entire town as an administrative unit, but rather acquiring the Foxtrap Roadhouse complex, which today serves as the main community center of Kuladdi. However, because only two people actually live in the settlement, the offer is already being referred to as an opportunity to 'buy a whole town.'
Currently, Kuladdi is home to Carol Yarrow and Joe Cornell. They purchased the local business in 2023 and have since been managing the pub, store, and other facilities that support the small community's life. Now the owners have decided to move and are looking for a new owner for their unusual property.
The sale package includes a four-bedroom house, a pub, a store, a post office, a café, motel rooms, a camping area, and several outbuildings. The total area of the property is over five thousand square meters.
Australian media note that Kuladdi is considered the smallest town in the country with its own postal code. In the past, it was a railway settlement with a population of about 270 people. There was a school, a hotel, a store, and a police station.
After the cessation of railway services, the population gradually declined, and over time the town became nearly deserted. Today, its main center remains the Foxtrap Roadhouse complex, around which all local life is centered.
According to the current owners, the property may attract entrepreneurs dreaming of an unusual business or those who want to radically change their lifestyle and become the owner of one of the most unique corners of Australia.
Although legally the buyer acquires not the entire settlement but its central commercial complex, in practice, the deal indeed allows one to become the owner of almost all of Kuladdi. For lovers of exotic real estate, this is a rare chance to own a 'town' at the price of an ordinary city apartment.
