It's supposed to be in Berkley, but according to the wiki, the location is in Southern California, which has a wide range of prices.
I can venture to guess that unless it's sitting on top of a superfund site, it's at least $300,000 (a 1915 built 4 bdrm, 2 bath at 2060sqft on 3.1 "farm-quality acres" east of El Cajon, CA just sold for $300K - but of course, it's in fire country and may have received some wildfire damage in the last decade the owner might not have been able to completely repair), http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6106-Dehesa-Rd-El-Cajon-CA-92019/79975575_zpid/
- or it could be up to $7 million (La Jolla, Del Mar, Beverly Hills/Brentwood).
40 years ago, it could have been as cheap as $30K. I had a chance to purchase a 5bdrm 2500sqft hillside "ranch home" built in the 1960's on two acres for $80K in the late 1980's, that included an area for a horse or two. This in an area that was undergoing development, so property was going fast and prices were starting to inflate.
When I was stationed up in Vallejo in the late 70's, nice property in the Berkley hills was going for around $150K for an established home on a one-acre lot.
