In the heart of Ontario cottage country, a historic train station just hit the market with the extremely low asking price of $1.

The 1932-built C.N. Parry Sound station, located at 1 Station Street, went up for sale earlier this month, and although the low asking price may seem unusual, Matt Smith, broker of record for Engel and Völkers who’s handling the listing, says that it’s a sales strategy for unusual properties.

“The $1 listing strategy has been utilized by myself and my team before in the past when trying to price unique assets,” Smith told Daily Hive. “It’s worked quite well so far as I’ve fielded hundreds of inquiries over the past couple weeks.”

Although the 2,679 sq ft train station can’t be used for residential purposes (so sadly, no, it can’t be converted into a cool house) the current zoning does allow for many other uses that would be of interest to local businesses.

“The property is currently zoned C3 which allows for a variety of permitted uses including hotel/motel, restaurant, bar, pub, offices, art gallery, bakery, clinic, gas bar, funeral parlour, lodging, mini-golf, nursery, amusement park, supermarket, and more,” Smith said.

The station was last sold in 2017 by the Town of Parry Sound to a real estate investor for $80,000 and has since been leased out by a variety of businesses.
