With California being the third largest state according to land mass right behind Alaska and Texas, it has a lot of potential to have a large amount of cheap land for sale compared to many others.
This post Gold Rush state is fortunate enough to have such a wide variety of geographical features. It lies right on the Pacific coast so there's a large amount of attractive coastline for tourists to soak up some sun. On the other hand, there are also alpine mountain tops so you can go from laying on the hot, sunny beach up to ski in the snow. California land also includes hot deserts as well as a fertile central valley.
Temperature ranges in California can be anywhere from Mediterranean to sub-arctic cold and the cool water current off the coast creates fog in the summer off the coast line. If you were looking for some cheap California land for sale you wouldn't be alone since California is the most populous state in the entire U.S. For good reason too. It has just about all types of geographic features, some of the most visited cities including San Francisco and Los Angeles, and you can't forget the movie stars.
