Any opportunity to own a home in California for less than a half a million dollars is quite rare indeed, but this one is special. Sure, it's away from the cities, but that means less light pollution for your astronomical observatory. You heard right, this two bedroom, two bath home on a half-acre is an observatory that comes with a 16-inch Meade telescope in a 10-foot rotating dome. There's also a workshop with a lathe and a milling machine, and plenty of extra parts. The yard has an antenna farm, and the sale could include a range of ham radio equipment. Oh yeah, it also is equipped for off-grid living, with solar panels and battery, but can use the grid for backup. Are you interested yet?
The listing includes a shed, a tractor, and a bunch of communication equipment. However, none of the pictures include a look at the living areas. I guess it takes a special kind of astronomy and/or ham radio enthusiast to appreciate this kind of home. The real estate listing refers to it as a "man-cave," while a commenter noted that this is a supervillain starter lair. Check out the listing for a few pictures and more details. -via Fark

Not really. Get a couple hours away from the LA or Bay Area and there's plenty of options well below that. Something remote and off-grid will be considerably cheaper still. With a quick look through Zillow, there's several even under $100k right now, though that is certainly getting into "rare" territory.
