A mobile home has hit the market with an excessively high price tag, again illustrating just how unaffordable housing is for many across the world.
Located at Montauk Shores trailer park in Montauk, New York, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom abode has been listed for sale at $US3.2 million ($A4.7 million), the New York Post reports.
According to the listing, the “mobile beach home with property” features a private driveway, outdoor shower, deck and “ the exciting possibility of expanding and customising” the address to add extra bedrooms, an outdoor entertainment area or the like.

Photos of the expensive trailer’s interior reveal a surprisingly humble space, with bedrooms that can barely fit the beds, a bathroom with a stand-up shower, and a modest living room that opens into the kitchen.
The owner will also get access to the trailer park’s shared amenities, which include a clubhouse, pool, playground, and basketball court.
Potential buyers, however, will certainly be most focused not on the facilities but the location, which is “like heaven,” says real estate agent Christine Sparacino of Re Max Sparrow Realty told The Post.
“You can’t buy those views anywhere. It’s insane, honestly,” she added. “You drive out there, [and it’s like] you’re at the end of the Earth.”

As for the price, it’s nothing new for this once blue-collar trailer park, where other trailers have recently gone for $US3.75 million and $US4.4 million ($A5.6 million to $A6.5 million).
“I know quite a few billionaires here,” Montauk resident and architect Fred Stelle said of the area just before the pandemic.
“The most appealing aspect is the park’s quality of life. It’s a classic throwback to a summer community — relaxed and low-key in a funky way, like what Southern California must have been like in the 1950s, and it’s safe for kids.”
