Eagle Mountain, Calif sits nestled just outside the Joshua Tree National Park, about three hours east of Los Angeles. No one has lived there for roughly 40 years, but a mysterious buyer just paid $22.6 million for the ghost town.
The 10,000-acre site has been a go-to location for filmmakers, with key scenes in Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and Rob Reiner’s Stand by Me having been shot there. Late last month, though, a company called Ecology Mountain Holdings, bought the property. Its plans for the area remain unclear.
