Eagle Mountain, California, a ghost town situated about 90 minutes from Palm Springs, just landed a new owner. According to documents obtained by SFGATE, a mystery buyer purchased the desert town for $22.5 million on April 17. All that was listed about the buyer was something called Ecology Mountain Holdings, an LLC with nothing but a Cerritos, California business address. The seller was an Ontario, California company called Eagle Mountain Acquisition LLC. An anonymous employee of the town's former owner told the outlet that a 'for sale' sign at Eagle Mountain's entrance promised rock products and minerals to lure potential buyers.
