The owners call it The Lookout, and the name is not marketing. This 1966 A-frame stands on stilts above a rock outcrop in Apple Valley, California, its deck hanging in the pines and its wall of glass aimed toward Mt. Baldy.

Inside its 504 square feet: a cone fireplace on a tiled hearth, a ladder to the loft bedroom, and a fully furnished interior that conveys with the sale — down to the guest book on the coffee table. The listing puts the ski slopes seven minutes away, which makes this one of the more unusual combinations we've verified: under $300,000, furnished, and ski-adjacent.

The numbers: $265,000 after an August 1 price cut of $5,000. One bedroom plus loft, one bath, a 2,500 square foot lot, built in 1966, sixteen days on the market. MLS SW26154963, listed by Arthur Bartolome of Realty ONE Group West.

Bandon sits on the southern Oregon coast, better known now for golf than for anything else. Bandon Dunes arrived about twenty-five years ago and never quite gave the town back. What the resort traffic tends to obscure is the land behind it — shore pine, wind, and parcels still measured

Innsbrook is a gated resort community in Warren County, about an hour west of St. Louis — a few hundred private lakes, a golf course, and a weekend rental market that has been running on city traffic for decades. It is a drive market, and drive markets behave differently than fly
