The modest five-bedroom home where actor Jon Voight was raised has just been listed for $1.09 million—30 years after it was first put on the market in the wake of his mother's death. Today, the 86-year-old Voight, who is the father of actress Angelina Jolie, lives a world away from the quaint Scarsdale, NY, street on which he grew up, having fled the nest and found fame, as well as an extravagant $21 million mansion, in Los Angeles.

Located near the remote hamlet of Fence Lake, this property — known as Atarque Ranch — has been a cherished retreat for the Yates family since 1978, a lineage tied to the oil and gas fortunes of Yates Petroleum Corp., which they sold to EOG Resources for $2.5 billion in 2016. The decision to part with this rugged paradise stems from the passing of John Yates Sr., who, alongside his three brothers, acquired the land decades ago, according to Mansion...

President Trump’s childhood home in New York City has been sold at a steep discount — after the previous owner allowed it to fall into disrepair and become overrun by feral cats, The Post has learned. The Tudor-style residence in the leafy Jamaica Estates enclave in Queens — where the young Donald lived until he was four years old — was scooped up for $835,000 by a Brooklyn-based LLC called 1388 Group, according to the sales deed filed March 3. That price is less than half of the $2.14 million the house previously fetched in 2017, when it was purchased in an all-cash deal by Michael X.

A remote Australian town that will soon lose its only doctor is offering a salary of up to 680,000 Australian dollars ($428,000), plus free rent and a car, to attract a new candidate. The remote Queensland town of Julia Creek, population 500, is offering about double the salary a family physician would earn in the state’s capital, Brisbane. The catch is that Brisbane is a 17-hour drive away. The closest major city, Townsville, is a seven-hour drive. Prospective applicants must embrace searing heat and tropical insects, too. But the town’s outgoing medic, Dr. Adam Louws, says his replacement will also find a quieter pace of life and the chance to learn skills they’ve...
