Parabola: Spanish hunting pier. Price: 3.7 million euros. Conquered by deer.

One once exquisite berry orchard, one of at least 40 estates taken over by Sareb, is rapidly deteriorating as a Spanish "bad bank" struggles to find a buyer. For every moment that land remains in our hands, it loses value. Spanish developer Luis Gonzalez Chozas has previously praised the nobility of the horses on his 600-hectare (1,480-acre) hunting estate in Caceres, Spain. Now, just two years after he lost ownership of the bank, wild sheep are walking the grounds and the deer population has increased more than fivefold, said Fabian Vinagre, the estate's caretaker. Visitors are rare these days as the estate is owned by Sareb, a Spanish "bad bank" who is trying to sell the property before the animals take over completely.
