ryaldinhio 4,135 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The smaller plots are more. When I was looking near me and spoke to a few land agents I was told 16k for the first acre 6k an acre after that. Thing is finding someone who wants to sell. I would think u would be struggling for one with a water supply unless it was a natural supply. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
