Edit: I shouldn't say most people own 100 acres of land or more--- but many do and it's not uncommon.

I visited my parents today.
The plot of land next to them is up for sale.
It is approximately 1800 to 2000 square meters, which is equivalent to 0.47 acres.
That is in the center of my hometown, which is not so much a city as an oversized village. The size of the plot is considered very large for being in or near a town.

The asking price is 200000 euros (268K$)

Ouch!! That sounds like big city California prices

I think my sister bought the 20 acres (maybe 25?) with house ---for about $100K --- the house is fairly small , (at least for Texas standards), a little less than 2000 sq. ft.

You could probably get 100 acres and a really nice house for around $500k but as you start moving into what is called the "Hills Country" (Austin, etc) the prices become a lot more expensive, ---- the Hills Country property is sought after by all types of celebs and rich folk.

If you travel in this part of Texas, you might actually think you are in Africa or some other country (continent) as ranches have all sorts of exotic animals on them. It's not uncommon to see Zebras, antelopes, ostridge, emu, etc. I think I heard or read somewhere that there are more lions (privately owned) in Texas than there are in Africa.
