Forget a house on a cliff, if you want to live boldly, think of a house on top of a volcano. And right now you are offered an ideal opportunity to make this bizarre wish come true, because a house on a volcano called ''The Volcano House'' is for sale on a small volcano in the Mojave Desert (Newberry Springs) in California (USA). It can be yours for as little as US$650,000, as long as Chapman University, which has owned it since 2012, is willing to part with it.
If you are worried that you will in a house on top of a volcano "The Volcano House" was flooded with lava one day while sleeping, the fear is unnecessary. Geologists say it is volcano inactive and your investment safe. Well, relatively safe. The volcano is not dead and we know how nature usually reacts to human arrogance. Well, it's not Etna or Vesuvius, but the real one a dwarf among fireflies. If there is an adventurer in you, and especially a loner- 150-square-meter house with a domed roof it is located on the top of a mini-volcano in the dusty desert, two hours' drive from Los Angeles - but it should be a dream home, created according to the idea by architect Harold J. Bissner.
If he drew inspiration from some Bond film and the villain's "general staff", we dare not guess, but we know that he has two bedrooms, as many bathrooms, airy living room, a huge terrace, 360 degree view of the desert, (outdated) kitchen and guest room, everything in the style of American modernism. Right at the base of the volcano stands an outbuilding, a rather eerie two-story house that is at the same time guest house and garage. It's also not far away lake, which you get to own together with the property.

If you are interested, what it's like to live on the moon, you are in the house on the volcano where the original owner was American leader Huell Howser, which is the house of 2012 donated to Chapman University, it won't be hard to imagine. She doesn't sell it because she would feel threatened, but as a research site the location proved too remote for them.
