  An outdoor paradise worth $25 million will remain wild thanks to a generous Texas family. The anonymous family gifted the Hill Country Conservancy 1,205 acres near Jarrell “to use for conservation, research, educational outreach, and public recreation,” the Austin American-Statesman reported in August.

Last asking $5.35 million, it will have a $1 million minimum bid at auction on Dec. 11, said Scott Kirk, president and CEO of Interluxe Auctions, who is partnering with broker Brigitte Fredy of Latter & Blum.

The naked beauty of this 112-acre property is plain to see. In Los Gatos, California, land that has long been occupied by a historic nudist retreat has hit the market. Since 1935, the Lupin Lodge Naturist Club has offered a sprawling, tree-filled oasis for those looking to experience life in their birthday suits, Realtor.com first reported.

Fin Kernohan, 44, says she has always had an ‘adventurous spirit.’ As well as being a regular camper, the Thai native has previously lived on a narrowboat and in an attic. But her biggest adventure to date is falling in love with her husband, John — a 61-year-old from Florida. After getting married, the pair decided to live ‘off-grid’, in a home powered purely by solar and thermal energy. But don’t think the pair are roughing it – their chic home includes an outdoor pool, boho interiors and a free standing bath tub. Fin, who lives in Georgia, USA, said: ‘Every single morning when I get up, I’m like, ‘Man, I am living a dream...

A house with an incredible eight bedrooms is set to go on the market for the bargain starting price of £40,000. The large home, which was formerly used as a guest house, is located in Blackpool on Palatine Road, just a short eight-minute walk from the iconic pier. The home, set to go under the hammer with Auction House Lincolnshire, is admittedly in need of some TCL.

And in the latest instalment of ‘can the landlord actually do that?’, one woman stumbled across a rental listing charging £75 per month in ‘pet rent’.

Professional landlord Fizzy Living is offering the property for a deposit of £2,300 and £2,180 per calendar month rent. This means if you have a pet it’ll take your monthly total to £2,255. As if pets aren’t already expensive enough. X (formerly Twitter) user Hannah Louise wrote: ‘Sometimes I think there is nothing...

A magical train station with a two-bedroom home which formed the backdrop for the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films has gone on sale for £235,000. The cosy cottage lies right next to the tracks at Beasdale Station - an operational railway station located in Druimindarroch, Scottish Highlands. The home was converted from the Victorian station building used on the Jacobite heritage line which the Hogwarts Express steam engine travelled on as Harry Potter and his friends made their way to the school of wizardry. The train station, which is a 20-minute walk from the Highlands coastline, is still a stop on the Glasgow to Mallaig line, meaning you can catch a train right from...

It is famed for its medieval castles, mountain views and being one of the richest countries in the world. But the principality of Liechtenstein is also one of the least visited countries on the planet with just 85,000 visitors in 2023 so for anyone who enjoys their holidays free of crowds, it may be one to add to the list. The Lonely Planet describes Liechtenstein as a "pipsqueak" of a country but one made of fairytale stuff, being a country in the middle of the mountains, "crowned" by turreted castles and ruled by a monarch with an "iron will". Liechtenstein marked its 300th anniversary in 2019 so is a relatively new country, but it boasts a number of attractions, including the hillside...
