In between the Kings Canyon and Death Valley National Parks in California is where you’ll find Cerro Gordo, the 19th century ghost town and functional mining operation. It also happens to be one of the best deals in real estate because you can buy the entire town, and the over 300 acres it sits, on for only $925,000. The family that’s owned the site for decades has decided to sell—on the appropriately titled ghosttownforsale.com no less—and that means this is a perfect opportunity to start thinking about your real estate holdings. Cerro Gordo includes over 24,000 square feet of buildings that include a hotel, bunkhouse and several homes. Mineral rights are also included, but we’re more interested in the fact that you can own your authentic ghost town in California for just under a million bucks.
