Fed up with high D.C. housing costs? $1 million will buy you an entire West Virginia ‘town.’
If the District’s pricey real estate market has you down, the General Services Administration has a deal for you.
Just three hours away, for $1 million — the price of a single-family home in some quadrants of the city — you can buy 80 homes on 122 acres, together with a gym, full-size basketball court, bowling alley, soccer field, and police and fire stations. Did we mention the 12 guest cabins on the opposite end of the property?
Sugar Grove Station, nestled between the Allegheny Mountains and the south fork of the Potomac River, is the ultimate get-away-from-it-all destination. Seven miles from George Washington National Forest, it sits in the midst of a 13,000-square-mile area of the United States known as the National Radio Quiet Zone. All radio communications in the area are restricted. Translated: No pesky cellphone calls from pollsters asking about Donald Trump.
And traffic? Practically nonexistent.

Sounds like a bargain.
