That price is inline around here. going price for undeveloped land around here is $5k/acre. Shack and barn adds at least another $200K.


My retirement plan includes lots of  "for sale" signs and relocation.

That part of the country is pretty arid, and water is often at a premium,  usually a new well requires a permit.   I'd be checking for old capped oil and gas wells.  Also for any pipelines buried across the property.  Property is priced due to the location near Devils Tower,  check 50  miles further away and see the price go down.  Covenants near a town of $400 ?  Again location, location.   Would think fire danger is a high risk around there,  with fire protection so far away.   The altitude also contributes to longer and colder winters.

One thing about expensive ground.  It could very likely always be expensive ground.  Meaning you pay a premium when you buy it but it sells for a premium when you are done with it.

What are the three factors in real estate? Location, location, location. If you are that close to Devils Tower, then you are gonna pay.

This way he doesn't have to watch TV.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.
