Overview

  • The 4.3-acre property that includes the 134-foot thermometer and a 1,107-square-foot souvenir shop was put on the market this week with an asking price of $1.85 million.
  • The site sits along Interstate 15 at Baker Boulevard about 90 miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip and faces traffic in multiple directions to reach highway travelers.
  • Listing broker Baron Castillo said the thermometer has been refurbished and is 'up and running better than ever now,' and the listing promotes converting the digital display to rotating LED signage.
  • The marketing materials pitch the site for next uses such as branded advertising, EV charging and a traveler-facing food or cafe concept, and they claim roughly 22 million vehicle exposures annually.
  • The thermometer was built in 1991, rebuilt after storm damage and activated in 1992, and it is branded to reference Death Valley’s 134°F record as part of its appeal to road‑trip tourists and nearby businesses.
