Please, based solely on the figures I give, I'd like an educated opinion from the list: in 1801 a man purchased 315 acres for 400 pounds. Does that seem a fair price for land alone, or was there a house on the property?
Comparing other sales in the area produced a varied result but, unfortunately I don't have very many properties in Charlotte County that I know had houses that early with which to compare. I'm hoping someone will have an opinion based on other counties.
Thanks!
Kathy
