I have no idea what "premature stages" means, but given the uses they list for the land, I wonder if the land is not buildable for some reason?

I think it means it's raw land, overgrown, hilly/rocky perhaps and not even close to buildable. Just my guess.

Maybe the word they wanted was "primitive"? As in undeveloped?

yep and that usually spells LOTS of work

No promises as to buildability. That means that they aren't furnishing you a wetlands map, or soil testing, or even telling you if there is electric available 10 miles from there or 5 feet from there. Everything is on you for due diligence.

Thanks everyone, I was thinking maybe it's not buildable. We'll have to go and see it but at that price y'all are probably right. 5 acres goes anywhere from 30,000. to 60,000 depending on the area. So yeah 6,000 makes since. Could make a good shooting range if nothing else! LOL

I've included one of the three listings for you to take a look.

Here is a link that might be useful: linky

Also find out if it is even possible to get a building permit. I don't know where you are located, but here sometimes parcels are in CRP or zoned in ways that make the land 'unbuildable' even if the actual terrain doesn't cause a problem.

I have had relatives living in that town, (my uncle was the tax assessor/collector for the school district) but right now only my Uncle's widow is still there - she also worked for the tax office of the school district - if you have some specific questions you would like answered from a long time resident, let me know and I'll ask her if I can give you her phone number.

One Realtor here found a way to tell the truth with listings like these. He puts "recreation use" in the listings.

As flat as is shows, could you be concerned about the weather if you were there,, with no shelters? tornados, straight line winds, sudden storms etc?

this is in South Texas - all the land in that region is flat - hurricane country, very near where all the Honduran refugees are coming over from Mexico. Also known as Snow-Bird country for all the northern folks that spend their winters in the area.

I guess the big question is: What do *you* want to do with it?

Tik,
Go look at it.
Call the realtor and make an appointment.
Ask them questions, and the answers they don't have, which will be few, you can always go down to the county building and ask your questions there.
Man, that is cheap.
I can see why you are tempted.
I'd be calling the realtor.

There might not be a road that goes to it. And of course no electricity, water sewer....
