1274505 2012-05-10 16:01:00 If I had the pocket money available, I'd jump on this in a NY minute:::

(CBS News) For $1.4 million, you might be able to get a nice two-bedroom, two-bath home in Los Angeles, or a two-bedroom apartment in New York City. But in Montana, it'll get you the entire town of Pray.

Barbara Walker owns all five acres of Pray, Montana. She collects rent from the ten other people who live there.

"I'm a one woman show," Walker said. "So I decided OK, if I have to be the maintenance man and garbage man and sanitarian then I'm going to be the mayor too!"

Founded in 1909, Pray is named after a Montana congressman. Walker's family has run it since 1953, and not much has changed. The general store seems frozen in time. Before a new highway was built, this was a popular stop on the road that leads to Yellowstone National Park.

Walker lost her husband Johnny to cancer in 2006. Trying to revive the town alone was just too much work. She's selling the entire town, including her house at action next month. Last month, the town of Buford, Wyoming sold in just 11 minutes during an Internet auction. A Vietnamese man bought the one person town for $1 million.

I just saw this on TV and it looks clean, well cared for and all the roads are in great condition. There is even an official US Post Office in town too!

Naturally I thought of youse guys as venture-buyers and you too can have a piece of Montana.
