I'm looking at the same thing, but in Australia. For comparison 1,000 acres say between 5 to 7 hours out of Sydney of hunting(not farming) country with a river/creek will set you back around US$150,000 with no power or shed, to maybe US$250,000 with house & power,minimum.
Not all that relevant to buying land in Texas, but interesting comparison. If you have nothing to do one day checkout realestate.com.au & search rural property in Delegate- Gives you an idea of whats available "down under".
