California town for sale for $6.6 million

In one of the most unique real estate listings to hit the MLS this year, a historic California town is currently for sale for $6.6 million.

The town of Campo in San Diego County has around 150 residents, listing agent Joseph Barela told SFGATE. The sale includes 21

residential buildings, spanning 28 residential units, and seven commercial buildings, including a post office, lumber yard and thrift

store. Since the early 2000s, the entire town, located around a mile from the Mexico border and an hour east of San Diego, has been

owned by one man: Las Vegas investor John Ray.

After some failed attempts to sell the settlement in recent years, the town hit the market again this week, and residents are hopeful a

wealthy buyer comes in and improves the community, Barela told SFGATE.

“They’re crossing their fingers for a good owner, somebody who wants to invest into their community,” Barela said. “They would like somebody to come in and possibly add in a gym, a daycare. It’s a very family-oriented community.”

The Campo Valley region has a history of non-Native American settlement dating back to the 1860s, but almost every structure in town today was built during World War II. Camp Lockett, as it was then called, was home to the primarily Black cavalries of the U.S. Army known as Buffalo Soldiers. The infantry was stationed there to guard the southern border from invasion, and the camp also housed Italian prisoners of war.

The town has 21 residential properties.
