Do you get mineral rights?
Ain’t it the truth! Maybe we should all pitch in, buy it, then seceed.
Interesting question. I doubt there is enough land to matter that much. Sub surface rights are not that available in a lot of transactions.
I thought it sounded familiar. I used to live in Temple. Pretty country. Right at the edge of the Balcones Escarpment. But don’t go there if you’re allergic to cedar. You’ll be sick about six months out of the year.
If I was rich I'd buy it and we could build a second capital. A ghost capital, complete with people, democrats & republican who take a lie detector test to prove they would protect our constitution. And they would be on the ready to run the country if we ever needed them, in case of a socialist, communist takeover in Washington.
It's not too far from Crawford, Texas ... see it in the upper right of the map.
I don’t think so ,,, get grants to buy back all those museum pieces http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/treasures/application.htm

************************************
You get WATER ,, the town well , dug in the 1860’s has never run dry ,, capped by a 12 foot layer of rock it would appear to be an underground river...
Very interesting but I don’t want it. I have enough junk of my own that I have collected.

Well, okay! Thanks Fiddlstix, now that I've read this topic a bit, I can see why you pinged me, very interesting.For two years, Moody Anderson has attempted to sell the Texas "ghost town," The Groves. Even had it up on eBay.Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. |

We'll take the town if we get to sample the BBQ
Oh, boy, have I found a way to win you over!
(because my entire existence has been geared toward winning you over).
:)
Too rich for my blood.
Wise precaution.
Would you believe that I live pretty close to The Grove? Same county! Weird story, eh?
Oooohhh, now I know what county you live in, now I’ll have to go to each and every house in the county with a boombox like that one scene in “Say Anything”. ;)
Well, of course the water’s never run dry! NOBODY is around to USE UP the water supply!
