Never worry about water later. It can bite you in the ass.About 14 minutes from Henderson. I got a hell of a deal, in my mind, just what we wanted.
They just brought up their price $65K last month, and I swooped when I saw it.
There are a couple similar listings around Henderson, but way less nearer LA than I found a year ago.
Normally, from my searching, near a large city, for 10-37 acres its over $230k-$270k for raw land, or semi-raw, really depends on location.
You really only need (officially) 10 acres to shoot on your own land, or 50 acres in in city limits
Ours: Some fenced off oil-lease, some marsh, some hill, no road/driveway per-se so I am guessing the surveyor will drop it right around 35+ acres) for under $150k, it is quite a bit out of the way from major cities (~2.75 hour drive from Dallas) near Henderson. The further you go out from major highways and cities, generally, the cheaper properties are, which also limits work-options.
We don't plan on building there yet, but going there for fun and shooting right now, and will worry about power, septic, internet, and water later.
Right now it'll just be our range and tailgate-camping getaway.
