I have to admit I was wrong about the above. My SO just corrected me...
they were ASKING $250K apiece for both lots (1.25 acres). They GOT $265K
apiece. Sorry for the Kenfusion. :^)

(I hope the new owners don't mind me having 4 Case D tractors, a TD-14
crawler, an 8N, a Bobcat, 2 Blazers, 3 Camaros, 3 other cars... and the
fiance's JD B on my 1.25 acres across the street...)
