[Cob] Cheap Land with no building restrictions

[abe at abeconnally.com]

I am selling it because we really don't plan to do anything with it.  
I have land out here about 5 miles from the 40 acres, and yes, I do 
live here full time.

Those pictures are taken from inside the property line of this 40 
acres.  I took every single photo myself.  Thank you for the 
comparison to commercial shots of the Big Bend Area.  That is quite a 
compliment.

It is 25 miles from the property to Study Butte, popultation about 
300-500.  Terlingua, which is 30 miles away, has another 500 or so.  
Alpine, which is 50 miles away, has about 3,500.  

Most people work via the internet, like I do (I am a web designer) or 
in town, or where ever.  There are not too many ranchers in this 
area, as most of the land parcels are 40 or 20 acres tracts.

I grow a garden and feed my family.  What do you do?  We catch the 
rain water, power ourselves using the sun and the wind, we have built 
our own homestead, and we are quite happy, Thanks.  There are many 
people out ehre like us, and many on the grid as well.  The nice 
thing about out here is that you can do anything you want (pretty 
much, as long as you are not hurting anyone else).

Why are you selling it and how much are you keeping?  Do you live 
there full time?  Are the pictures ones you actually took from, say, 
the center of the land?  Or are they renditions/ commercial shots of 
Big Bend and the surrounding area?

You say "the folks around you".  How many of them are there and how 
close and what are their occupations?  Ranchers?  How do 
alternative /cob folk survive out there?  I read that its 200 miles 
to the nearest city.  Is everyone just a trust-fund baby hoping 
global warming will bring some water and agricultural potential their 
way within their lifetimes?
