1. Woodside, Utah. For sale. Last listed for $3.9 million. Woodside peaked in 1910, when 328 people lived there. By 1920, its railroad station and livestock shipping facilities were moved to another town.
2. 6000 W Spring Canyon Rd. For sale. Price: $199,000. These 154 acres are on the outskirts of a town called Helper. It was originally part of a mining town founded in 1927.
3. Cerro Gordo, California. Sold on July 13, 2018 for $1.4 million. The name means “fat hill” in Spanish. These 300 acres in the California mountains include an abandoned church, hotel, and bunkhouse, plus some homes.
4. Swansea, California. Sold in 2013 for $70,000. Near Cerro Gordo is this old silver-smelting town. At 33 acres, it’s a tenth of the size of Cerro Gordo and has several shacks on a dry lake bed created when the City of Los Angeles diverted its water.
5. Seneca, California. Sold in 2014 for $240,000. Like many other deserted towns in America, this was once a gold mining boomtown. So, along with the 12 acres of land, the buyers also walked away with a literal gold mine – and a bar with a liquor license.
6. Millican, Oregon. For sale. Last listed at $1.5 million. Named after its founder, George Millican – who was a cattle rancher and miner – the town has 74 acres of property, a post office, gas station, and an old store.
7. Cabin Creek, Colorado. Sold for an unknown amount in January 2017. This spooky town went on the market – or at least Craigslist – for $350,000 in 2016. The five-acre piece of property includes a gas station, a restaurant, private shooting range, two homes, and an eight-room motel.
8. Forest Service Rd #295 Saint Elmo, Colorado. For sale. Listed at $84,900. Located 1.6 miles south of ghost town St. Elmo is this piece of Colorado gold mining history.
9. Swett, South Dakota. For sale. Price: $250,000. Be the proud owner of six acres of land, a home, and a tavern – if you don’t mind living among the paranormal.
10. Johnsonville, Connecticut. Sold for $1.85 million in July 2017. After being abandoned for two decades, this 62-acre ghost town sold last year to Iglesia Ni Christo, a Philippines-based church.
