This is the closest.

HE wants to buy them OP: go to a local REI meeting (whatever might be closest to you).

Called Realtor - Comps closest were about a year ago 130's.  

I personally looked on websites specifically for properties being sold in rural areas, like landsoftexas.com, as well as contacted a realtor in the small town we were wanting to be closest to...Anyway, rural land websites and local chambers of commerce would be good starting points...and the properties will sell faster if they have agricultural exemptions on them to lower the tax base...
