This would make a nice place to disconnect. It sure is isolated though. Probably the type of place where if you hear a car you peek out the windows. This house was built in 1930. It is located on 8.90 acres in Twentynine Palms, California. The house features a covered front porch, hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. There is a functioning outhouse. Not sure what “functioning” means. Amazing views and I bet the stars at night are beautiful! One bedroom and 357 square feet. $119,000
