Vagar, Faroe Islands Gásadalur Village sits at the top of the Mulafossur waterfall on Vagar island, one of 18 islands in the Faroe Islands, a self-governing archipelago within the Kingdom of Denmark. The rocky land masses are known for their stunning, untouched nature, though Gásadalur is particularly remote, as large mountains bisect it from the rest of the island. Could you live here?

Ouarzazate, Morocco Located in Ouarzazate (nicknamed the door of the desert), these homes sit among mountains in the Sahara. Similar to the nearby village of Aït Benhaddou—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—the structures are likely made from adobe, rammed earth, clay bricks, and wood. Could you live here?

Arnarstapi, Iceland In Arnarstapi, a small village along the southern side of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, a lonesome red-roofed home sits at the base of Mount Stapafell. Could you live here?

Elliðaey, Iceland Located on Elliðaey, an island within the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago, this home is often given the unofficial nickname of the "World's Loneliest House."

It is, notably, remotely located in the Fafe Mountains and requires a bit of planning to get there. Could you live here?
