If we each pitched in $100...
 
Is a kidney worth a half mil? Asking for a friend.

Likely astronomical. It’s essentially a small city. There’s a reason city taxes are higher than rural county taxes.

These places are cool (like deco missile silos), but I always wonder if the coordinates to it are still programmed on some forgotten Ivan missile boat. All it takes is one drunken night and a disgraced Admiral! The good news is you wouldn’t know what happened!

Water rights?

Big-time issue out west. The watershed is so huge that people upstream “using” water that fell onto their land were “starving” people miles downstream. So someone invented rights to the water that falls on and flows across your land.
 
I'd be hesitant to buy any place as a bug out location that was publicly listed/advertised as such. OPSEC & all that.

I agree-


"It consists of approximately 80 acres of bare land,
a 4000 sqft 5 bay shop,
a 2500 sqft mechanics shop
, a 16 room motel/barracks,
a 4 story radio tower with 1000 sqft per floor,
an 18,000 sqft commissary building with commercial kitchen and walk in freezer and refrigerator,
a 60,000 sqft steel and concrete reinforced above ground bunker/fallout shelter,
a 3600 sqft “school” building,
a duplex with 4 bedrooms/4 baths 1600 sqft on each side,
4 houses with 1 car garages consisting of 3 bedrooms/1bath and each 1600 sqft,
an “office” building that is currently being redone,
several other outbuildings of little value in their current state.


The property currently has two sources of water including 7 drilled wells on the property complete with legal water rights from the State of Montana,
a community water feed provided by a small water co-op,
three reservoirs that hold 100,000 gallons, 75,000 gallons, and 16,000 gallons respectively."




Anywhere in North Carolina ( and I know the property for sale is in Montana ) that has 80 acres available, what do you think the value would be?

"... what do you think the value would be?"

since "It consists of approximately 80 acres of bare land" with no timber, etc....
i would guess ANYwhere in NC that is undeveloped with nothing "harvestable"
on it, COULD go as cheap as $40,000. for example: in Tyrrell County, 172 acres
is $100,000.
 
If I was a serious buyer I'd demand an environmental survey of the property and buildings first. I've seen first hand what government operations used to dump into the ground when no one cared about such things. The buildings may be full of asbestos.
 
Judging from the photos: it looks like a depressing $heethole.
The buildings alone make me want to guzzle a fifth of Ancient Age and cap myself with a Grock. Because a CZ is too nice.

A friend just bought 75 acres with a partiallly completed 4,000 sq ft house, in Stokes County, for $275,000.

Just scrolling through the pics I was having flashbacks of scenes from The X-Files, Andromeda Strain, The Shining, or any random episode of The Twilight Zone
 
Nothing very constructive to add just personal musings but looking at the photos I'm reminded of my time in the USAF serving as a Radar Tech. in the state of North Dakota, the city of Dickinson. The last year of my enlistment another airman & I worked a Gap Filler site outside of Sidney, Montana. One interesting note: We drove 30 miles one way on a dirt road to work and had checked out a shotgun from general services and actually enjoyed Ring Neck Pheasant for breakfast a bunch of mornings. Reminded of some of the "Good Old Days", sorry.

That's awesome #jeals. In my area, $275,000 buys you a house, and not a huge one, on little property (for example, my 'n' of one: my house built in 1975ish, .75 acre, around 3,000 square feet, valued at $300,000).
 
Fully occupied with people not paying rent because of COVID. That is why the owner is selling. All cash so they can just get out of dodge.
the Canadian border is closer than the nearest town.

Our house in Burlington is just over 3ksf on .35 acre. $300K. Smaller homes are selling for much more $/sf. I guess younger families have gotten lazy.
But working from home now the space means no claustrophobia.

My wife would definitely not go for that Montana place. Maybe not even 75 acres in Stokesdale. Ha!
