Ghost town including cowboy brothel is now on the market for £1.3million
A cowboy ghost town which houses a two bedroom emporium and a former brothel is now on sale for just over £1.3million.
The town is located in Silverton, Colorado, US, Colorado's Old Town Square and is situated on 0.21 acres in the middle of an old mountain mining ghost town.
Notorious Blair Street with storied cowboy culture, included is a two bedroom emporium with one bathroom, a full kitchen and washer-dryer unit. The site is family owned and has been in operation for more than forty years, so it's now possible to have the opportunity to saddle up to more than a quarter-acre of land and 5,340 square feet of this bargain ghost town, which has a genuine history of Colorado's wild west.
The historic square is a tourist destination and the majority of attractions on it are included in the asking price. On the boardwalk is the original 1875 San Juan County Courthouse which was moved from Howardsville, CO, and there are several buildings in Old Town Square from around 1900.

Olivia said: "There's a different entrance that you can enter the single-family residence. It oversees Blair Street, which is a great location. There are great views of Kendall Mountain.
