$1M will buy 122 acres in part of U.S. National Radio Quiet Zone

It sounds like it is smack in the middle of a large area where Broadcast TV, WiFi, and cellphones aren&#x27;t allowed. Given the prevalence of those things in everyday life you wonder how that effects the properties value regardless of the location.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_National_Radio_Quiet_Zone" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_National_Radio_Q...</a>

Sounds like a perfect spot for Adult Summer Camp: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;campgrounded.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;campgrounded.org</a>

&quot;An array of giant parabolic dishes obscured by thick forest cover are housed on a mountain ridge just over a mile southeast of the main property. These, however, are not part of the sale.&quot;

122 acres for $1M plus $5M a year does not sound like a deal, especially given the RF ban.

No WiFi or microwave ovens allowed, and I would guess no cell phones. Good luck finding someone wanting to relocate their national headquarters...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_National_Radio_Quiet_Zone" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_National_Radio...</a>

There&#x27;s also a lot of kooks who live there to get away from their &quot;electromagnetic hypersensitivity&quot;<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-us-canada-14887428" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-us-canada-14887428</a><p>&gt; Ms Schou is one of an estimated 5% of Americans who believe they suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), which they say is caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields typically created by mobile phones, wi-fi and other electronic equipment.<p>Similar to Snowflake, AZ:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;99percentinvisible.org&#x2F;episode&#x2F;snowflake&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;99percentinvisible.org&#x2F;episode&#x2F;snowflake&#x2F;</a><p>&gt; Some people with MCS also experience sensitivity to electricity, so some houses forgo electricity, or have it routed through a single room which can be completely shut off from the rest of the house.

Or you could buy approximately 20x as much land in a quiet area of Chile, where there&#x27;s also very little radio traffic going on and there are much fewer strings attached. Patagonia is also one of the most beautiful spots on earth, IMHO.

There are lots of defunct military bases. Fort Ord, in Monterey, CA, was closed in 1994, and it&#x27;s still underutilized. Great weather, near the beach, near a reasonably sized city, and still a tough sell.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fort_Ord" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fort_Ord</a>

Given the NSA site, I wonder what the availability of commercial DWDM services is to Ashburn, VA from dark fiber owners such as level3, zayo, etc. Locations of buried 288 strand cable and raman amplifier sites would not be too difficult to discover. The US government usually doesn&#x27;t build its own longhaul fiber.

Or you could consider living amidst the Amish; it&#x27;s a lot cheaper.
