The picturesque city of Tiller in Oregon is currently offered at USD 3.8 million (roughly Rp 50 billion). Considering that the city is a riverfront paradise, it seems worth the price. The city located about 362 kilometers from Portland and it stretches for about 101 hectares.
Included in the package are an apartment building, six houses, a post office, an abandoned petrol station, and a store. Well, if you want to start a colony here, those would be a perfect start.

Formerly, around 250 people lived in Tiller. But then the local government decided to shut timber mills down. They were residents primary income sources. Knowing that nothing left for them in the town, one by one they started to move and left Tiller abandoned.
