This insane property is found in the heart of Singapore–where a square foot of land costs more than your monthly salary

In a country like ours where owning land is the exception rather than the rule, properties like the one featured in this Reddit thread can blow the mind.

What initially looks like a villa situated in a place where land doesn’t go for $2000 per square foot is actually an address in Potong Pasir SMC.

Here’s a photo posted on Reddit that they say is the interior of a house near Braddell Road, if you are looking for a property be sure to find a Property Condition Assessment professional to hide you trough the process.

Most Singaporeans live in apartments and condominiums, because of the limited space in the country along with the insane land prices.

But for those who can afford prime real estate, perhaps a bungalow surrounded by a classy moat is nothing but a drop in the ocean of their riches.
