If you've got at a least quarter million dollars to spare, Chris Kortlander will sell you the entire town of Garryowen, Montana, which he bought in 1993 after losing his home in California to a wildfire. Due to health reasons, Kortlander has decided to auction off the town.
Garryowen includes a gas station and convenience store, and has a population of 2 and an area of 7.7 acres. It is located along Interstate 90 and US 87 near the banks of the Little Bighorn River, and is not too far from where Custer made his "last stand".
Some historical notes:
Garryowen is named after an Irish folk song.
Garryowen was the site of Sitting Bull's camp as the Battle of Little Bighorn got underway.
In 1926, a road crew constructing US 87 discovered the remains of a US Cavalry soldier.
