If man-eating octupi keep more people from paving over every green space in Central Texas, I'm all for them!!! I'll admit I'm a transplant, but Williamson County can't seem to wait until every acre has 3 homes and a business on it.
MeanQueen, I have relatives in Salt Lake and near Park City, and I do think it is gorgeous country, but perhaps the temperature extremes would be too much for someone from the UK and its a long way from the coast. I sometimes look at real estate ads around Echo, Coalville and Henefer, where my family comes from. I can only think that proximitry to Park City is driving up the land prices...I was shocked. If only my uncle had written his will, I might have a peice of that area now.
eh

I just have to plug West Virgina here...We bought 2 acres and a house for 150,000 a few yrs ago. 4 bedrooms/2bath. Property taxes were over $2000 a yr in Maryland now are $800. No restrictions here. Rural, mountains, good variety in weather, land is cheap, neighbors are far apart, and its about 4hrs to the ocean and 3 hrs to Washington, DC (if you need some culture cause they're ain't any here!
Sssshhh, silkiechicken!!!! Don't give all the good details away, we want them to be afraid of the earthquakes and temper their interest!

Only about $300 on property tax!!!! What's the tax rate? Here it is about 2% and ours is the cost of a new Toyota Camry each year!!!
Note: There is no income tax but there are sales tax in WA state. Property tax is about 2% so be ready to fork that over if the land is worth a lot.
And if you want jobs, generally those are best found around the dreaded cities... I know some people have an apartment in the city to work 4, 10 hr days and go home to the country on weekends. If you raise animals for fresh meat and natural products, city people gobble that stuff up and pay a premium for it.

I lived in Kentucky for 10 years and reading the cracks about the in-breds made me laugh. There was a documentary about people in Eastern Kentucky (known for it's very poor areas) whose skin has a blue-ish tint from in-breeding through so many generations.
My boss still cracks that crossing the Ohio River (which divides Indiana and Kentucky) requires a passport.

In Wisconsin within 30 - 40 minutes of Appleton/Greenbay you can get a 5 acre parcel with a fairly nice 1500 - 1800 sq. foot house ( existing, not new ) for around $150.
You can also take the route of buying 40 acres for around $90,000 and build a new house on it.
Appleton is about 100,00 people, and Green Bay prob double that. Plenty of places to work, Low unemployment, low crime rate.

It is a nice place on 5.37 wooded acres with taxes on the original home and 2.22 acres of $287/yr plus we own another 3.15 acres adjoining me that I currently have on the market. The taxes on those two lots together amt to only about $68/yr.

LOL, all I know is that it's assessed on 40% of the value. The taxes in this county are fairly cheap unless you live around one of the lakes, of course, since they just re-assessed the values of those properties after umpteen years. This is basically a second-home market with lots of farms, but lots of cabins hanging off mountains or in those stupid developments. At least here I can have all the livestock I want (except pigs, per some covenant the so-called "developer" wrote off the top of his head-he bought a farm and divided into lots and sold them to all his pals in Ft. Pierce, Fl.)

As far as inbreeding goes, in NC it's legal to marry your cousin BUT it has to be your second cousin...not first. I don't know anyone married to their family members though. I don't think so anyway.
mdbucks, your soap is on the way.
