EDITED: Thanks PC for the wise info

I'd like to find that too. West Virginia has some beautiful little
farms I've been dreaming about.

I like realtor.com

Just pick a state and start searching.

Well Steve with that kind of money, I don't think you have to worry about cheap farmland. $1.7 million will buy a chunk of property & build a house in any state. I don't know US prices but in Canada, farmland prices vary from province to province.

Here is a link..

"We're underpriced in Saskatchewan - we've been underpriced forever," Weber says. "You can't hardly touch land for $1,200 an acre in Manitoba, and walk across the line going west (to Alberta) and it is $1,600 an acre. We've been $400 or $500 an acre here for 10 years."

If it was me, I would pick the state I want to live in & go from there. Oh, & welcome to the millionaires club. Invested wisely, the return on that money will guarantee you never have to work again.

I've been looking at farms in CO -- you can still find land for less than $1000 an acre if you don't need to be all that close to the city. There's also a lot of great farm land here in TN that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I hear KY is a great place to find a farm, too. Aw heck -- I'll just sell you my place!

Not much is cheap here in Colorado, trust me on that one.

If you want a free state that won't trample on your rights, I guess WY is the place to go. Try to find a part of it that's not windy though.

I agree with the post two above me! We moved here because we could find the land, and we love the area. Great little spot to be.... right here in Kentucky...

Tennessee and Kentucky, then some parts of North Carolina would be where I'd start, away from the major cities.
