Why bother buying a home, even with the deals to be found in the current real estate debacle, when you can buy yourself an entire town for the bargain basement price of only $883,000. Sure Albert, Texas is basically a ghost town located 20 miles east of Fredericksburg (we have no freaking idea where Fredericksburg is) but for less than a million bucks, you can pick yourself up 13 acres of land complete with a dance hall (think Little House on the Prairie and not Nikki Beach), a beer garden (we're assuming you'll have to bring your own beer), a creek, a shoolhouse that was actually attended by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and a three-bedroom house. There also may or may not be 4 residents living in Albert so presumably they would be part of the purchase price as well.
We're thinking of putting in an offer and turning the sleepy little town into our own gentlemen's playground. And we use the term "gentlemen" very loosely.

Buy a real Western Town called New Dubina just a little East of Schulenburg, Texas. That is one hour from Austin, Texas and one hour and a half from the big town of Houston, Texas. The population of this town is 12.
One whole street is lined with stores of the old West with a big Town Hall at the end of the lane. One must pass the saloon before reaching the Hall. Just across the street is the dentist office/barber shop and the jail with two cells. Since the jail is small, the gallows is just around the corner........yes, 13 steps leads to the noose and eternity....
A church in the meadow complete with grave markers and a big iron cross sit amoung huge life oak trees and in the distant one can see longhorns graze quietly on the grasses of Texas. In the Spring, bluebonnets come up as high as your back side.
Two beautiful blue ponds reflect the Texas sky and a lonely antique log cabin sits with fishing pier on the edge of paradise.
You will find four other antique log cabins scattered about like acorns on the ground. There is even one just for Judge Roy Bean.
The spot is the biggest secret Texas holds deep in the heart of Texas.
The town has one of the largest collections of old frontier wagons ever assembled in one place....Even sports a wagon to haul the dead.
Name it....New Dubina has it all!! Sheriff Jim Helms runs a tight ship from his office as Mayor, Dentist, Preacher, Saloon Keeper........just name it. He does it all. Check your side arms at the gate. Price......how about 24 million.....he doesn't want to sell......Yet.
