Now here's something you don't see every day. Screw an StP HQ, let's form our own god damn municipality!
Asking price isn't too bad but fuck it, squatters rights.

Today could be the day your realize your long-time dream: to chuck your phone in the garbage disposal, cut ties with humanity, and move out West to pursue a solitary life of drinking beer on wooden front porches and gazing at starry night skies. Unless that's just us.
Travel+Leisure reports that an abandoned mining town outside Lone Pine, California, is for sale. The town, called Cerro Gordo, is 300 acres and has 24,000 square feet of buildings still standing, like a hotel with a bar and museum, a superintendent's house, and a bunkhouse. The town was privately owned for decades, and restoration was completed on most of the structures, according to the listing.
The asking price? Just $925,000. For an entire town.

Cerro Gordo, which dates back to the Civil War-era, is nestled in the Owens Valley to the east of the Sierra Mountains, across the Owens Lake—spectacular views included. (Owens Valley is known as "the Land of Little Rain.") It's about a four-hour trip to Vegas, and a four-hour trip to L.A.

The possibilities are endless once you own it.
"The owners hope to find someone who appreciates and desires to preserve the historic nature of it," listing agent Jake Rasmuson told SFGate.
So, you could take up silver mining. You could conduct tours for eager photographers and school children, as the Cerro Gordo Historical Foundation does now. You could start a cult of history buffs. Or you could do nothing but hang out. Because you know who makes for good company? Ghosts. And you know you doesn't? Alive people.
