You could strike gold with the purchase of an entire Wild West-themed village in Victoria.

A unique property at 35 Mystic Drive in Yandoit has hit the market with a $1.8 million price guide, and is the two-decade journey of a vendor’s passion for the American West.

Agents Grace Lee and Kim McQueen of McQueen Real Estate tell Nine that the owner, who is a devotee of Western films, spent the past 23 years building the village using second-hand original materials.

Pricefinder records reveal the vendor purchased the property for just $48,000 in 1998.
