Properties You Can Buy With $1 Million (Part 1)

Remember the song that goes something like this? “I wanna be a billionaire, so freaking bad, buy all of the things I never had~” Well, becoming a billionaire may not be that easy, but nowadays, $1 million might be slightly more achievable, so let us show you some of the properties around the world that you can buy with a million dollars.

A villa in Koh Samui
If you love tropical getaways and have $1 million lying around, you can have your very own four-bedroom villa on the tropical paradise island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Imagine sipping fresh coconut juice on a palm-lined avenue, with the soothing sound of waves from the beach barely 100 meters away. Not one for salt water? The villa includes a sunken pool bar, perfect for parties. (Stuff NZ)

A parking spot in New York
Yes, you read that right. 3 parking spots at a boutique condominium in Manhattan, called 15 Renwick, will be selling for $1 million each. The three parking spots share a 1,000-square-foot garage, with each spot getting approximately 333 square feet of space, making them larger than most micro-units in the city. The best part? It’s not the first to sell million-dollar parking spots. 10 underground parking spaces at a similar development within the city, called 42 Crosby Street, were offered for sale at apprxoimately $1 million each. Talk about cars being pampered. (Curbed)
I guess we should be grateful that our houses already include parking space.
