Mediterranean land is scarce, desirable, and the cradle of civilization.
In the age of human capital, it’s a national treasure, more valuable than an oil field or a gold mine.

@BowTiedRedneck for accessory structures just figure what it would take to reproduce them in todays $, then take some off for age, wear etc - probably 50%, but they still have value. Then just give it a round lump sum value - say $100k for structures.
It is ESSENTIAL to remember that between a third and a half of people have NO inner monologue or dialogue.
They don’t debate with themselves, they have no inner conversations – they exist in a blur of images and sensations and feelings.
And they are all around you…
