There might be thousands of these tiny isolated houses, commonly called Jackrabbit Homesteads, in California's Mojave Desert and elsewhere in the arid lands of the West. These are in Wonder Valley, along the road between Amboy and Twentynine Palms, to the north of Joshua Tree National Park.  Some common house designs could be purchased by mail and shipped from Sears Roebuck to the owner's site.
