I'm curious (but not interested in the deal) about how a 3 bedroom house and
almost-one-acre lot could be worth only $20,000.

It's in a small farming community on the Canadian border. One acre is too small
to farm. The closest city is Bismarck, which is about 150 miles away as the Cessna
flies. The roads to anywhere are secondary roads for a *looonnnggg* way.

Most outsiders would find life there pretty boring, and it would be a bit hard to
make a living.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
