Is it really possible to get a piece of land for free in the United States of America? It is if you broaden your horizons to include the town of Anderson, Alaska!
There are 26 plots of land up for grabs. Of course, braving Alaska is not for the faint-of-heart, unless -60 weather is your idea of a holiday.
But to be fair the little town does have some unique offerings that include no property taxes, state income taxes or sales tax, no crime and no traffic (other than from the 300 people that live there). There is land as far as the eye can see and surprisingly gorgeous summers with 90 degree weather.
