When we went by there in 2003 the mailbox was white. I’d guess it needs to be replaced/repainted on a fairly regular basis.

I’m kinda surprised the military doesn’t just buy it and add it to the Area, just expand their borders a bit.

They did that on the other side of the mountain range, so you can’t (legally) get as close as in the past.

Yeah, I really hate being a jerk but your alien is in my yard again. Every time he poops over here the Geiger counter rattles for days and my grass dies. Oh, hey, and when you send your guy over, tell him to stop dropping all those cigarette butts in my yard. I tell him but he just stands there with a smug look on his face.

For $4.5 million, you can own the 80 acre ranch [desert sand/land]
That’s more than a dollar a square foot, what a deal…

Yeah, for $4.5m, I’d expect to get a lot more than 80 acres of (mostly) undeveloped land in the middle of nowhere. Even with the “included” cattle and small houses, this looks like a publicity stunt (and a possible cash grab) for the notoriety of being near Area 51.
No thanks. Pass.

Damn, I’d need to be a one-percenter to buy the place.
I can’t even NAME a one percenter who would buy the place.
(Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are out as they likely could not get a permit to launch aircraft/spacecraft from this location.)
Come on! Buy this place, name it “Area 52,” install a diner, some geiger counters, and a bunch of those coin-operated telescope thingies, and advertise advertise advertise. You’ll be rich!

You guys aren’t spreading a wide enough net. For a $25 donation from all of the “Area 51 Run” people, they can collectively own this property and have alien-themed parties there all the time.

Looks like it would make a great range. Just need to build some berms.
They call their home Texas nowadays, and adios mofos is what i have to say on the subject.
Location is not too far from artist Michael Heizer’s City compound. Ranch could be an Air Bnb for all the folks looking to visit in the future.
You’d have to compete with the Little A’le’in, and I can tell you they make a pretty good tuna melt.
