    There are a fair number of these properties in California. $40k for a postage stamp lot with a tiny framed structure on it (maybe). Oh, in the middle of the desert where the high is above 110F recently.

      This is probably a stupid question but do they have running water? I assume they can use generators or solar if they’re not on the power grid, septic tank, satellite internet. But water seems tricky. And mail, but I guess you collect it from town. And how far is town? Surely an hours drive would be the limit of what’s reasonable?

        I suspect you may be able to put in a well but I doubt they have city water.

        I watched a home reno show on HGTV where one episode was kinda out in bumfuck California and they had a big tank for water and a truck would come and refill it routinely.
