Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By K2QB3: You could do that pretty easily in parts of SC. I paid $354K for my 144 acres, it didn't have a house but it had water, power, septic, a 4000sqft warehouse and a couple old cabins on it, along with bass ponds, access roads, and deer stands. Pretty decent timber too. That's about an hour from any big cities but only 15 minutes from a town with a Walmart and a Home depot and so on. Closer in, well in my county this came up: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/345-341-Shirway-Rd-Lexington-SC-29073/2053200508_zpid/ It could also be done in western NC but not on 10 acres OP could find a nice log home https://weavervillerealty.net/listing/CAR4120274/444-georgianna-lane-bryson-city-nc-28713/ |

Very doable in east Alabama. I bought a trailer in Coldwater Al, for only 48 grand, it's valued at over 90 now, so you can easily do that in Cleburne or Randolph county Alabama.

Beaver Lake is a nice area, and NWA generally has plenty of jobs. That was the first result, there are probably a lot. Depending on how far you want to commute, southwest MO has cheap land. |

Very doable in east Alabama. I bought a trailer on half an acre for 48 grand in cash in 2019, it's followed at over 90 grand now, but I'm sure you could put a double wide on ten acres for that in Cleburne or Randolph county easily.

I ended up on 40 acres, 4900 sq.ft., 4 bed/bath, 900 sq.ft. heated shop for that in an area 66/33 Trump/Biden county. UP of MI.
Three years ago last month I gave my wife a presentation of 10 homes from WA, ID, AZ, IN, UT, TX, WI and MI and let her pick. All the homes were in conservative areas (not states), within 30 minutes of an emergency room, on acres of property with water (lake/river/pond), cost between $450 and a $900K. I had looked at a few hundred homes over the months, there were that many to choose from. We bid on homes in Cedar City UT and Hagerman, and Twin Falls ID. Durning COVID there are ferwer homes on the market. The MI home fell out of escrow and went back on the market just in time to make the cut, and my wife choose it. Mostly for the neighborhood. The home sits in a shallow valley with a couple thousand acres of unused property around it with only one neighbor's house slightly visible when the leaves have fallen. The AZ home had an underground shooting range. The TX home was two parts with a canyon and bridge. The WI home was 150 feet above Lake Michigan on a bluff with its own pond too. The IN home was on the Saint Joe river with 120 acres. The other MI home was on 225 acres. The Hagerman home had two streams running through it's 12 acres. |

West Virginia for sure. And, despite it being (often deservedly) the butt of many jokes, it’s an absolutely beautiful state, and Appalachian Americans are my kinda people.
Honestly, you could probably make that work in southwestern (i.e. Real) Virginia too. |

This comes pretty close to what OP wants, but the $750,000 price reflects the reality with real estate here, now. The other consideration is work...Home Depot, Walmart, lots of auto parts/fast food/small business, none of them very well paid.
Selle Valley is beautiful, ringed with mountains. Nice, clean 1,300 square foot home, 9.6 acres with RV site, Quonset hut with concrete floor, barn... Selle Valley |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Twisted10: 450k w 10 acres. Easy in rural NY. But its NY Absolutely. If it were not for the "conservative" and of course crap gun laws the OP could get what he wants with more land for less money in the Catskill Mountains of NYS. In certain areas the City of NY foots a good portion of property taxes because of the amount of land they own around the reservoirs. The other issue is jobs. If you are not a Doc or Nurse, working for the city or state you are either making a long commute to make money or you have to be self-employed. |
