Hyper-empathetic? Get the tissues out, because a remote cottage dubbed the UK’s ‘loneliest’ home has been taken off the market for one heartbreaking reason. …nobody wanted to buy it (sob).

(The property was put up for sale for £300,000 .Image: Fisher Hopper /...

A huge chunk of remote, undeveloped land off the western coast of Chile is seeking a new owner — and an adventurous one, at that.
