Baw I know bought some acreage in Tishomingo County a little north of Iuka and got a barndominium built.
I was in Iuka Friday. I grew up in Corinth and last year bought 100 acres in north central MS. I started looking 3-4 yrs ago with the criteria of being an hour or less from my house, 80 acres or more and had to have at least a 6 acres pond
My land is 50 min from my door, 100 acres and has a 10 acre lake.
I love it.

Tishomingo County is a beautiful area. I'd love to have a plot on Pickwick lake.

I would recommend going to landwatch.com and then selecting which state, and which area within that state as filters to see what prices are for land. You can also filter on the size of land you are looking to buy. It would help give you an idea of prices. Very easy and good website to use for such as this.

Prices are so variable. Out near Uvalde it’s cheap but it takes something like 30-40 acres per cow. East Texas is expensive but good for cattle or timber.
I never know what is a good or fair price because it varies so much within a few hour drive.

I like where I am in SE Oklahoma very close to the Red River.
Land isn't too bad unless you're trying to buy prime improved pasture and/or sod farming land.
I have a cattle farm here and enjoy it. You can pretty much do whatever you want. And Lake Texoma is close enough that I fish 3-5 times per week and it's probably the best striped bass and one of the best catfish reservoirs in the country.

I consider those places a part of the south. I am not opposed to any of the states

For all the folks suggesting western states (Mt, ID, WY, CO, NV UT) make sure that land has water rights or its essential worthless.
Posted on 11/27/22 at 10:33 pm to Lonnie Utah
How much is land with water rights in states like Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico?
From what I can find 3-5k is an average price for land in many parts of the south. Maybe slightly higher in some places

I'm all in favor of buying small, medium, or large acreage.
But I'm even more impressed by the Zappa fans in this thread.

I’m a realtor and I handle almost all of the land sales in our office. Most realtors hate it, I don’t.
#1 - Get LandGlide, or something similar. You can see the terrain, access, etc with it which helps a lot with land purchases.
National land realty is a good place to look for large tract land. Mississippi isn’t bad for cost, but there are areas in Alabama also pretty inexpensive, there’s creeks and rivers all over the place, timber, hunting (please god come kill deer near my house) and it’s not that far if you want to take a beach or mountain trip.

That is as bad as it has been. 100% correct on voting.

Assuming this is for living and privacy. So land needs to be cheap enough to afford a large plot but not in an area with volatile property tax issues.
So my vote is Rural Louisiana (north of I-10), Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, or Alabama.
Montana and Idaho might work too. Some potential for miserable winters though.
Aim for between 50-100 miles from a mid sized metro. Far enough to avoid democrat issues in the city. Close enough to be able to run in for supplies.

Utah is off the table due to all the Mormons.
Posted on 11/28/22 at 6:12 pm to justaniceguy
Avoid Idaho and Nevada then, too.
Posted on 11/28/22 at 6:16 pm to HempHead
Will do. Didn't realize Idaho had so many. In that part of the country I really like Wyoming and Montana. Just worried about the cold, New Mexico could be a better choice.
