I have a one-acre parcel (I won't disclose the location here but it's out in the desert next to an alfalfa ranch, and there is a tiny town nearby). It was cheap land, it even has an old mobile home on it, and a well which unfortunately has gone dry... It's in a county with no planning/zoning department and no building inspector (if you can believe that) . All I have to do is pay a few hundred dollars in property tax each year.
I'd like to find something like that for 5k or under.
I paid a little more than that but it came with the old mobile home, septic system, electric service already installed. No water though, --I got a bid for 40K to redrill the well, which I can't afford right now.
