You've probably thought of purchasing a home at some point, but what about an entire historic ghost town and mining hub?
Cerro Gordo, which literally translates to "fat hill," is a deserted piece of California history. The town is located 200 miles outside Los Angeles on the edge of the Inyo Mountains. Not only is it empty, it's also far from civilization, with the nearest grocery store being 25 miles away along a partial dirt road.
The town houses nearly two dozen buildings, including a church, saloon, historic hotel and museum. The property, which includes its surrounding 300 acres, was sold in June 2018 .
CNBC recently profiled the renovations going into the town. You can watch that video .
