Gee my adopted one

;)

You would be hard pressed to find land much cheaper - $2.2M/900Ac.=$2,444 per acre.

Without a doubt, that is cheap. I'm wondering if it was really 90 or something and the sign had a typo. CA land, regardless of how ugly or useless it is, goes for a premium. Pretty land should go for even more.

We're looking at West Virginia. Prettiest land, IMO, around since I'm partial to forested mountains. Cheap and property taxes are quite reasonable. I've seen 100 or so acres for $150-300 range, inlcuding a house. Our Sierras are nice, but - since they're in CA, too many liberals and illegals around. And restrictions out the wazoo on what you can do. They've taken away most of the snowmobiling or dirt biking in the area - next they'll be outlawing walking!

1/2 acre for $100K! Ouch. That's along the line of CA prices! I hope property taxes are reasonable, at least.

At those prices, maybe I should sell out and retire - - - Oh, that’s right, I already am retired.......

;) And where would you go? You gotta be on the land you love. When looking at TenthAmendmentChampion's land, beautiful as it is, my second or 3rd question was 'How far away are the mountains?'. I'm a mountain girl and wouldn't be happy any place else. Anything else, no matter how nice, would only be settling. I just realized that ;) I imagine some people like open pastures, some like river, some like lakes, some like rolling hills, some like a place to garden, etc. I have to have my mountains with tall trees and peaks and valleys all around. That's what makes my heart sing.

What's settles your soul?

Beautiful place!

Back a few years when I was general manager of a regional DHIA (Dairy Herd Improvement Association) One of our states was WV... My lab manager was from there (but our office was in Hagerstown, Maryland) One day in my typical joking manner, I told her that I could always tell when I was getting close to West Virginia. She asked ‘How’s that?’ I told her that whenever the only thing I could get on the car radio was Amazing Grace instrumental played on a Jews Harp and Fiddle I knew I was close. She turned and gave me that evil eye look and said ‘And what pray-tell is wrong with that?’. So, I just tucked my tail and mumbled something and found some busy work to do.

I really like West Virginia, however, they have gotten so much government money, that they are almost becoming an extension of Washington, DC..... Huge buildings for FBI and quite a few other government agencies were built there as a result of deals to get Senator Byrd’s votes...

I was mistaken, this land is actually priced at $3 million:

But there are several ponds on it.
