The "Field of Dreams" farm can be yours for a paltry $5,400,000.
The entire 193 acre farm including the house, two concession stands and six out buildings is being offered by Don and Becky Lansing whose family has held the farm for over a century.
Now, I have been to the "Field of Dreams" farm.
Hit some fly balls out to the kids, played a little Pickle, dropped a hundred and a half at the concession stand on sweatshirts, midget bats, refrigerator magnets and ice cream bars.
And as far as I'm concerned, it is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places I have ever been.
If you like that kind of stuff.
And I do, I just love the smell of horse shit ..... seriously.
I'd give my left testicle to have a place like this.
If only I could convince the little wiffer and the kids to give up life as they know it and move to the middle of Iowa.
So, just because this happens to be what I do,(when there's something to do) and mostly because I just flat out can't help myself .....
I get out my trusty hp12c and do the math.
OK, that's $5,400,000 divided by 193 ...
$27,979.28 (rounded to the nearest penny) per acre.
Feels a little optimistic ... let's do some shopping.
