I bought a ranch on Mercury about 30 years ago!
The seller was the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and I was glad to support their educational program by purchasing my ranch.

I got a nice glossy photo of my ranch and a quitclaim deed. I wish I still had them - they seem to have been lost in a move long ago.
Maybe some squatters will move in now, but honestly they are welcome to it. My ranch is on the hot side of the planet, and I don't really like warm weather.
If the squatters send me some photos I will consider that adequate compensation.
There's a good writeup in this book:
