Want to own a slice of the Silver State? A 500-acre town in Nevada is now up for grabs for a casual $8 million.

Nancy Kidwell, 78, and her late husband, Slim, founded the town in 1965 and named it Cal-Nev-Ari because of its close proximity to both the California and Arizona borders. The town has since grown to a population of 350, and Kidwell has said she can’t maintain it any longer.

“It’s time for someone else to do something with it,” Kidwell told the AP. “Fifty-one years is long enough.”

She initially listed Cal-Nev-Ari in 2010 for $17 million, but couldn’t find any buyers. This week she put it back on the market, dropped the price by $9 million, and included the town’s casino, diner, convenience store, 10-room motel, RV park and mile-long dirt airstrip to sweeten the deal.

While Cal-Nev-Ari doesn’t have paved roads, listing broker Fred Marik believes this is a great investment.

“You’re basically buying the land and the opportunity to grow something on it,” Marik said, according to the AP.
