It sounds as if what is for sale is what was originally the historic Ft. Lockett site, home of the Buffalo Soldiers. Campo is a 30 minute drive from San Diego up in high desert; has one of the longest thermometer climate environments, regularly a 40 degree swing, and occasionally up to a 60 degree swing, between day and night temperatures.

There are private homeowner residents around there, plus a historic railroad museum with weekend train trips in season.

Campo residents I've met tend to embrace the history side of the region as a draw for the local economy, and aren't too keen about becoming another suburb or middle class retirement hub of/for San Diego.

I think it would be great for a heritage minded black celebrity to purchase and develop as a historic/cultural site, keeping a lot of the local "feel" that is important to both history and the locals.

On edit- the reason I'm thinking a celebrity should get involved is that I think a trust to maintain the historical site would be preferable to having some land development consortium turn the town into another gated spa getaway for rich folks and foreign investment.
