can you even still buy just one acre,with zoning and all that they make it almost impossible for poor folk to own land.want wilderness land one acre but dont know how to find out about it.need to be next to a creek or some kind of water source.if yall know of anybody or how i can find out something please let me know
oh yeah,in oregon or washington state would be good but any where in the western half of the states would be fine,trying to avoid high snow areas because of re-supply issues
Why one acre? Any particular reason for that specific size of ground?
Land is available in every state in any type of geography you want. Easy to acquire. I suggest you narrow down your choice of locations. Once you know where you want to live, acquiring the land is relatively easy.
The thing about one acre is that it is usually surrounded by more acres. Most sellers are most likely not going to say - well I've got 100 acres that I'm trying to sell, but I'll just give you a one acre in the middle.....I'm sure the guy that buys the other 99 won't mind. Something else about owning "just one acre" in the wilderness - who owns all the land surrounding your one acre? Owning one acre in the wilderness just doesn't seem like a realistic goal.
The other thing to consider is access. I'm sure it varies state to state but in Illinois, where I'm from, you can't be landlocked. That is, if you own one acre of land surrounded by other owners, they must grant you road access to your site. I actually owned 1 acre of land that was landlocked...at one time. And yes, you can build a road right down the middle of the other guys property to get to it (I didn't but could have).
If you try that in, say the middle of 1500 acres of prime wilderness, I'm sure you're going to have one or more very irate neighbors. It might be legal but that doesn't mean they have to like it. Just another thought.
Similar here, but you have to fight for it. Mom-In-Laws 54 acres didn't have access. Simple hearing in court to grant an easment. We got that easment recorded, but the developer isn't doing anything with the land adjacent at this time.
the former owner here sold a 3and 3/4 acre parcel that is lcoked in by my land and no i am not going to give permission to put in a road, i don't know how he was able to subdivide the property and others have tried but not allowed to do, they should have thought of road access before selling to me, now i say screw em. you want acsess give me 300,000 dollars, i've already got one neighbor thats a complete arse don't want anothe. 5 farms on this road and one little trailer on an acre and she is the biggest dink around always trying to compalin about my animals, well you know what lady this is rural so go jump in the river she thinks its bad now ha, next year i'm pasturing 20 goats and all my manure right up against the fence line, and yes i've already checked it is legal for me to do
WE, you gonna' be pooping right near the fence, or just hauling it over in buckets? :innocent:Quote:

yeah that would be the first question if i had road access becuase with my disability i cant hike real far and need to get my camptrailer in there,and of course would want to go look at it anyways
check out Landandfarm.com.
I think 5 acres is perfect for most everything you want to do. Having a stream may be tough but you can always drill a well. 1 acre is ok if you dont want livestock [maybe chickens] but the adjacient properties will be pretty close and you never know what your gonna get [neighbors].
Our place is 7 something acres..It is a good size peice of land to get started on but I am eyeballing 50 acres next door..If not there is 4.5 behind me...I would think and for me it is the opportunity is there for more and plan on gettin' it!
yeah 5 acres is good but definetly could not afford it or the well,would have to save up till im dead.as it goes i would have to find somebody willing to let me make payments,since im on social security disability i dont have a very large income,thats about all i can hope for.needs to be by a creek or river of some kind to atleast get water to drink.and if the water was deep enough and running fast enough might be able to figure how to make elect.using some sort of generater hooked up to some sort of small paddle wheel.would take a little study but im sure it coud be done
There's a matching 20 acre lot next to me I wish I could buy... they think they can get what I paid for my land+house+shop for just their land :smash: not gonna happen! Probably worth 50% what they want.... oh to have the money I'd own from one street to the next, and no neighbors behind us for 1/4 mile due to big hill we own...
Anyone wanna loan me some money :clap: haha
you guys are lucky you already own your own land,even with this so called housing rescession the price of land getting tottaly ridiculous i looked up some land in the desert nothing at all there just desert that most people cant wait to get out of and they wanted an outragous amount of money per acre for it,i was so blown away i just burst out in laughter.and in idaho it made me think every one who lives theres got to be rich or there sleeping in there car.idaho is real beautiful but land is real exspensive,over priced
You can find good deals on land but its usually very rural. There are alot of folks that will do owner financing.
NW alabama way out is $300 an acre. Might as well get 10 ac at that price.
