I have always been a big fan of owning lots of land. As long as you have all of the necessities in your home (a TV with the ability to get PPV) the rest is all materialism. Good Luck Bro!

Wow... I fricken wish =(

I have a 3bdrm 1500sq ft CONDO and it cost me 580k =(

Heatwaves

LOL. Yup, I don't think that us in the "O.C." can relate. My condo is 2 bdrm, 1350 sq. ft. and was 300k nearly five years ago.

Seven acres is a wet dream for me. Seven acres in Orange County would easily be $7M without a house on it

there is still alot of cheap land available in the US. You just have to avoid the heavily populated areas and do some shopping around.

That's a great deal Crashti and you're gonna love having that m uch land.

My sister and brother in law and I recently bought 4.5 acres with 2 houses and two small office type buildings on it for 850k and found that a great deal and it was for this area.

We're trying to build a family/business compound/ranch thing and it's awesome. There's nothing better than owning land you can pretty much do whatever you want with.

And so far it's been outstanding for family get togethers. The holidays should be awesome. Lots of room.

good luck. I hope it works out for you.

Thanks Krav, its been a dream of mine to own my own my own piece of land. We're going to check it out on Wednesday.

I have a 3 1/2 bedroom 2200 sq. ft house which we paid about 120k 4 years ago for. Houston has lots of land so the housing market is rather cheap.

10 year old house, 1450 living, 3 bed 2 bath $120,000 and on less than one acre of land. That sounds like a good deal. Looks pretty peaceful.

That would be a nice deal. I cant even get an acre in my neck of the woods for less than $40,000. And you got 7!! That is super.

Crashsti

i have'nt got it yet. We're looking into it. Luckily if we can't get this one there are other similar lots available in the same price range. This one just happens to look just right and is still close to town.

ramcalgary

depend on where ....location location location
i live in oil rich alberta canada and our house value has gone up 250% in 2 years from the 300,000 we paid ....

lots of albertans are selling and taking the equity out...

we just took an equity loan and bought 100 acres of land with a small cabin in northern british columbia for 99,900 oh yeah baby

Crashsti

Oh yes, Canadian land. i have seen the ads for cheap land up North. You can gets 100's of acres for next to nothing. very tempting but not very economical seeing how i live in the US.

ramcalgary

where is yours

land in canada is cheaper the further north you go...a small (1400 sq ft) house in calgary on a small lot is over $400,000.00


tons of oil money here drove up prices and land anywhere near calgary is mega bucks now

Crashsti

The land i am looking at is in Western Massachusetts. The land i've looked at in Canada is up where you bought yours. basically i don't need 100 acres and will do well with 7.

ramcalgary

ive got a buddy who lives in se new brunswick who takes the ferry to boston to watch red sox games....

as a recreational property you should check there....no job there so property is cheap

Crashsti

that'll be the next dream project. for now i am just looking for a place to put down some roots and stay healthy. Raise some kids and some chickens.

T-Bone

That site looks pretty cool.

Wish my house cost 100K
