Entire town for sale: This is how much it would cost to buy this 5-acre mini city just 45 minutes from Yellowstone
A small town in Montana called Pray is up for sale and its rich history and proximity to attractions like Yellowstone National Park make it worth the price.
Have you ever thought about buying a town? Now is your chance - a five-acre town in Montana called Pray is up for sale (again) for the bargain price of $2.6 million. What gives Pray its unique charm is its history - and its post office.
Century of history up for sale in Montana
The town of Pray was established in 1909, named after congressman Charles Nelson Pray, who represented the state of Montana at its inception. And although it never became a major city, Pray has maintained its spot on the map, with its general store, Amish-built log cabins, and hand-delivered mail a reminder of the town’s rich history.
Pray is one of the few frontier towns that still has its own zip code - 59865 - thanks to its charming old post office, which offers buyers a unique distinction from other towns up for sale.
The current owner also serves as the town’s unelected mayor, adding to its small-town charm. Over the last five years, Pray has been functioning as a short-term rental business with proven income and includes a duplex which adds to its potential.
