There is land for sale in the area, but it’s way overpriced, with wooded and grass land (no houses or other buildings) running more than $2,000 an acre. One ad is for an 884-square-foot house on one acre, priced at $60,000. Appropriately, a Mercedes is shown parked in front of a shed. The Mercedes has a Texas tag.
