Huh, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen a real estate listing for an astronomical observatory. It's the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, a radio telescope that operated between 1965 and 2023. Along with the remains of the telescope you get a three bedroom fibro cottage, an administration building, a student residence, a workshop, a shed, an electrical hut, and 84 hectares of land.

One for @weirdestate , perhaps.

@kate @spacelizard @weirdestate @treleanor I'm guessing they're selling it for more than an average astronomer could pay...
@sundogplanets @kate @spacelizard @weirdestate @treleanor It's an auction. The estimated value is over $1 million, and the estimated monthly, with over $200K down, is around $5500/month. The biggest recent upgrade was the septic system. A working septic system, being priceless, probably means it will bid out at $2 million, lol.
