你是不是一直想要養(yǎng)一只像水獺、鴕鳥或孟加拉虎這樣的寵物，但煩人的租戶委員會或社區(qū)協(xié)會卻極力反對？你的機會來了。

位于緬因州的動物園、游樂園“約克的野生動物王國”即將出售，要價僅有1420萬美元。

這個價格包括明輪船、鬼屋、過山車和摩天輪，以及動物園的70種動物，包括非洲獅、孟加拉虎、狐猴、袋鼠、美洲駝、短吻鱷和多種奇特的鳥類。（抱歉，沒有熊或大猩猩。）

占地58英畝（約350畝）的公園還包括一個18洞的迷你高爾夫球場和練習擋網(wǎng)。

2011年馬特·達蒙主演的一部電影（《我家買了動物園》——譯者注）便描述了這樣一種生活，但搜尋這類對這類生活充滿向往的人士并非是一件一蹴而就的事情。幸運的是，賣方似乎很有耐心，他們表示動物園并不急著出售，而且公開出售日期有望一直延續(xù)至5月“陣亡將士紀念日”那一周的周末。

當然，鑒于房地產(chǎn)市場最近正在向買方市場傾斜，因此價格可能還有商量的余地。很顯然，鑒于一些近期開業(yè)動物園的經(jīng)營情況，購買動物園存在風險。（盡管諾亞方舟擁有一個龐大的園中動物園，但該旅游景點去年的售票情況非常不理想。）

要確保擁有源源不斷的客流，其中一個方法是制定周密的促銷計劃，例如Bronx Zoo上個月推出的活動：讓人們以其生活中最珍視的人，來命名嘶嘶叫的蟑螂。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Have you always wanted a pet otter, ostrich or Bengal tiger, but the pesky tenant’s board or neighborhood association wouldn’t allow it? Your time has come.

York’s Wild Kingdom, a Maine-based zoo and amusement park, is up for sale with an asking price of just $14.2 million.

Included in that price are the paddle boats, a haunted house, roller coasters, and a Ferris wheel—along with the zoo’s 70 different species of animals, which include an African lion, Bengal Tiger, lemurs, kangarros, llamas, aligators, and several exotic birds. (Sorry, no bears or gorillas.)

The 58-acre park, which is being listed by King Real Estate, also includes an 18-hole mini golf course and batting cages.

Finding someone to live out the life envisioned in a 2011 Matt Damon movie isn’t something that happens overnight, though. Fortunately, the sellers seem patient, saying they’re not in a rush and expect to remain open through the Memorial Day weekend.

Of course, with the real estate market shifting more in the buyer’s favor of late, that price might be negotiable. And it’s certainly a risk, given how some recent zoo openings have gone. (The Noah’s Ark tourist attraction saw ticket sales dry up last year, despite an extensive on-site zoo.)

One way to ensure visitors keep coming, though, is via a well-thought out promotion, like the one the Bronx Zoo came up with last month, letting people name a hissing cockroach after a significant other.
