I want to buy a ghost town in Japan.
There are thousands all over the countryside and up in the mountains. The rice patties only need a little care to get them going again and you have 10-15 houses in different statuses of disrepair to choose from.

There are quite a few of them in PA. Trouble is, you’re accountable to some local or regional govt which will be on you like ants. Fix this, fix that. Spend a fortune doing it. Liability issues keep you awake all night. Insurance is a nightmare. And if you get all that addressed, environmental issues crop up. Eventually you will find you can’t please everyone, they’ve more pockets than you have dollars.
If it’s worth saving/restoring, it’s probably on the radar of some historical society anyway. And they’re worse than HOA’s.
Cheaper by far to buy some vacant land and build your own ghost town.

Fun fantasy, but unless you have the funds and self contained resources, it is only a dream.

Abandoned Titan missal bases are more my cup of tea.

St. Elmo is cool I’ve been there several times. Hard to get to. Part of it burned down a few years ago.

“St. Elmo, Colorado?”
It is, unless the rockies have moved to Texas.

I have seen a photo book of old Japanese farm houses, all wooden very neat, small but cool. If you had those many houses you could deconstruct a couple and build a nice place.

I heard of a few some co-irker visited on a mountain trip in Colorado. That is something I could handle.
