My G-Grandmother was Full Penobscot, so I guess part of me is from here.

Buying that Perfect Small Farm
There is lots of fair priced land in SE MN. Case in point I purchased an 8acre building site that was a grade A dairy farm until '97. The barn was built in the 1960's the 50x110 poll shed in '79 also a couple of other very usable sheds. The house is a 1916 large 4 Square in excellent shape. I paid 140,000. If I had the money the entire 160 acres could have been bought for 410,000. I only 35 miles from Rochester the city of 85,000 and home of the Mayo Clinic.

Prices here in Western NY arent to shabby. I bought my place 2 yrs. ago for 120K. Thats 20 acres 30x40 barn 1700 sq. ft house (5yrs. old), pool and hot tub. Taxes are about 2200 per year. Major city(syracuse) 40 minutes away. Good deals are out there just takes awile to find.

Buying that Perfect Small Farm
I was out taking an aimless Sunday afternoon drive, and there it was. 
I found my land after about a year long search...my criteria was flat, within 30 minute drive of Louisville, KY and had utilities available. Secondary considerations were location outside of the raging annexation/zoning battles going on in the area (i.e., not within some city's incorporation zone) and also not more than 3 acres so I won't have to spend every moment of my free time cutting grass. I got 2 acres for $23,950 which is the going rate in this area at this time. I got what I wanted, plus a spectacular view of farm ponds and woods that is only a mile off a major highway. It is quiet, picturesque and manageable. Keep looking and you never know what those "Sunday drives in the country" will turn up!!!

If your are looking in Northeast Missouri check this site out. I wish all real estate companies would state prices and give detailed descriptions like this. It worked for me.
Now if I was retiring I would look for land within a triangle defined by Springfield, Mo, Fayetteville, Ar and Tulsa, Ok.

G'day americans,
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. I guess Australian prices relate most to West Virginia .. so like David said - forget the snobbery of anal retentive Maine(iacs) and come down under where the weather's fine and the fishn's great.
cheers, bruce

Based on what I have seen, the easiest way to find the 'perfect place' is to just buy a new place.
Right afterwards the 'perfect' place will present itself.
Never fails.
Best of luck.
