    ✔Cheap land for sale.
    🌐Second Video: • Top 10 Cheapest Places...
    This video is for all of you that have been asking about the best places for land that you could buy for Homesteading or Tiny Homes.
    I'm not sure about the rules for each and every place as far as tiny homes or homesteading because the laws and rules are changing constantly. Do your own research about those subjects. This list is about the cheapest places to find land that you probably can do that.
    A lot of cheap lands are going to be in Arizona and New Mexico but I found some other places in Alaska, Colorado, and Arkansas too.
    Want to do your own research:
    www.landwatch.com/
    www.zillow.com/
    If you enjoy these videos I would love to hear about it. Most of these videos are made to help people who are thinking about relocating, looking for real estate, or just wanting to learn about the United States. We look at the best and worst cities, states, towns, and neighborhoods in the United States. But, most of the time focus on the negative side of locations. If you only want some happy positive information about a city, town, or state, I would suggest looking up local mortgage and real estate companies or maybe the locations website. They are trying to sell you something so it will be nothing but sunshine, rainbows and a bunch of smoke up your skirt. They won't tell you about crime, poverty, bail bondsmen, or insurance you'll need because of natural disasters. I will. And I will try and make it entertaining.

    My wife and I just bought some acreage in Upstate New York for $2,400 per acre. It's mostly wooded, with some brush, and a few open areas where the previous owners hunted deer. The land is within walking distance of a couple rivers known for great fishing, and is only a few miles away from a reservoir for more fishing and boating. There are quite a few off-grid cabins in the area, so despite what you may have heard, New York can be a good place to drop off the map. We're going to build a cabin and live there for retirement.

    For one, you better find out why it’s cheap, you don’t want to buy land without reading the survey records otherwise you might be building right in the middle of a flood zone. Find out if it has a well, how close is it to any mountains (flooding from snow melt) also make sure you’re not building on reclaimed land that is now a capped off land fill. So many variables so little information on what to look for in a land purchase, knowing where your nearest neighbors are is also a must.

    Maine is really cheap outside of the major cities, like 1.5-2k an acre. If you look at the climate zone map of the state and buy in zone 4 or higher, that's warm enough to grow certain fruit trees, many nut trees, and a few months of good growing season.
    Plenty of brooks, lakes, and the ocean too.

    A little further East from Winslow Arizona is the town of St Johns. Near there you can buy 30 to 40 acre ranches for $20k to 40k. You can get flat, barren ones for much less. They have lots of vegetation, some are wooded, cool rock formations, community well, and high water table if you want to drill your own. No electricity so you’d have to use solar, wind, or generator. Higher elevation so it’s not nearly as hot as the southern deserts. They finance with 10% down. Not a bad deal if you’re looking for recreational land or just want solitude.

I would suggest you find a remote location and rent for about a year if you can. You will know by the end of one year if that lifestyle suits you. There are a lot of variables you need to know about like- travel, communication, health, basic services, personal protection, the list goes on.

    So things to keep in mind when you buy your dream off-the-grid home. 1. State income and property taxes 2. vehicle laws 3. wetlands 4. access 1. Assuming you are going to live on a fixed income if you live somewhere you can't commute to work from (although maybe you'll be able to full-time telework), state tax is something to think about. State income taxes range from the teens to 0%. Some states exempt retirement income, some don't. Property taxes also range widely. Pick wrong and be prepared to shave some serious cheddar for the tax man. 2. Plan to have that homestead with that ole' pickup truck? Not in CA or VA or many of the other states that have mandatory vehicle safety and/or emissions inspections. I live in VA and, while there are antique plates here for vehicles over 25 years, for many old vehicles that are not quite that old, it would cost more to fix them or get the emissions up to code than the vehicle costs. You may well have a $5k homestead with a $25k truck sitting outside since if a vehicle won't pass annual safety inspections or biannual emissions inspections (again VA, idk about other states) you can't get plates for it. 3. wetlands - never, never, never buy somewhere that is designated as a wetland unless you understand that hiking and temporary camping (maybe hunting) is all you will ever be able to do. Any structure, improvement (driveway, garage) and the levels upon levels of bureacracy needed to lay the first piece of gravel will drive you crazy. 4. never buy anywhere that does not have legal access. Some states do not allow land to be landlocked, others do. If your access is an easement, be prepared for your neighbor to cancel it or maybe ask for some rent. Be a shame to get your dream cabin built deep in the woods only to find that your easement is now cancelled and the only way to get to the cabin is airdrop or catapault.

    Hay bale house. Cheap to build, relatively easy to self build, fireproof (it just smolders, really, really slow if it catches fire), stays cool in a summer and warm in cold especially if you incorporate passive solar design.

    • @CarolsCurrentObsession
      @CarolsCurrentObsession 2 года назад +5

      Hay bale house will have burrowing rodents in spades! We have a few folks here in Idaho that tried the hay bale thing for fencing / walls on their property, and I can tell you, they have horrific rodent issues. Once the plaster is chewed through by hungry little field mice, you cannot get rid of them. They will set up shop and feed off of your hay bales and be protected to boot.
      Not only that, but the hay itself will begin to compost and mold, and if you don't plaster correctly, you could be looking at a nasty fire hazard as well. There is a reason you see only half covered hay stacks. You cover them up all the way, and the breakdown process will create enough heat to start a fire. And it doesn't just smolder. (Green hay smolders, yellow or brown hay burns).
      You'd be far better off just shelling out the $$$ for real building materials.

    Since your from Oregon you know there is a ton of inexpensive decent land in both Eastern Oregon and SW Oregon. I have seen not long ago a plot of 134 acres sell for $240,000, this was excellent grazing land with a year around creek with woods along the creek, two seasonal creeks and a tiny pond, mostly flat slight slope except one small wooded hill maybe 20 acres of woods on it, in other words great land surrounded by other ranches and forests only about 20 minutes from a town with grocery stores etc. The negative with Oregon is the political situation since Portland runs the state you never know what crazy law will be passed next that may keep you from using your land, defending yourself or bankrupt you business. There is a reason the Eastern and SW parts of the state want to join Idaho.

      @@make.and.believe California has become too Leftist and is becoming, dare I say, Communist. I don't suffer communists after living through a good chunk of the Cold War. If people don't like that people like me are leaving, either change the people that are governing California or watch the continued exodus of Californians to more politically hospitable places.

    I live in Maine and about 8 years ago the land around my home went up for sale.
    70 acres! I couldn't jump on it fast enough and my neighbor beat me to it.
    The price? $55,000.00!! That's less than $800.00 an acre!

    My dad spent time in Barrow when he was in the Air Force, and he said that he learned it was possible to run in snowshoes cus of a moose. My dad was 6' 4" and he said he felt like a pipsqueak when that 7'+ moose showed up. I guess it's like being afraid of the Nile crocodiles when the hippo are the greater threat.
