Yearn for a little more green space? Well, now you can rent a village in the Hungarian countryside, the Associated Press and [_Agence France-Presse_](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/25/entire-hungarian-village-for-rent-includes-horses-cows-and-a-bus-stop "undefined")report. The fine print, according to the AP, claims renters will have access to the village of Megyer, including “seven guesthouses that sleep 39 people, four streets, a bus stop, a barn, a chicken yard, six horses, two cows, three sheep and four hectares (10 acres) of farmland — along with the possibility of temporarily being named deputy mayor.” Mayor Kristof Pajer posted an advertisement online to raise awareness of the struggling economy in Megyer, which, with a population of 18, has practically been deserted as its young people move to Budapest or out of the country the minute they are old enough, [he told AFP](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/25/entire-hungarian-village-for-rent-includes-horses-cows-and-a-bus-stop "undefined"). No word on whether you will see Megyer on Airbnb at some point in the near future. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3722184/hungarian-village-megyer-rent/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3722184/hungarian-village-megyer-rent/"},"headline":"You Can Now Rent an Entire Hungarian Village","datePublished":"2015-02-25T17:41:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:12.458Z","description":"You could even be deputy mayor","url":"https://time.com/3722184/hungarian-village-megyer-rent/","keywords":["Newsfeed","World"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
