Land Finalist Tied for #2 (ranking)

Entrance
This land is very close to #3 (near Blanco), and is 57 miles (1 hour, 10 minutes) from home. It's a square ten acres, priced at $10,900/acre (recently reduced from $11,900), and is on a private road in a rural subdivision. We had taken a quick look at it on one of our long multi-property drives in March, and I had said it had potential, but Mr. D.H. seemed totally unimpressed, so I wrote it off. After looking at #3, I knew this was very close and suggested we take another look at it. We almost didn't, but then when we did, Mr. D.H. suddenly started seeing the potential!

The potential is mostly in the views; from the high points there are almost 360 degree views of surrounding hills. It has been used as a hunting property, and there is an abandoned hunting cabin and several deer stands (all of which would be abolished if we bought it). Unfortunately, the land is not "verdant" - it is as rocky and unattractive as #4. There are many cedars and a few oaks.

After three dates, we put this relationship temporarily on hold while we explore other options. The property is still listed (and has been for 180 days plus).
