Alright so I've been throwing this idea around and this year may be the year I decide to implement it...hopefully. I would like to buy a few acres in either Northern Florida, Georgia, South or North Carolina. I love to be outdoors and camping etc and thought it would be great to buy our own plot of land outright and then erect a small cabin. Now this would work well as a getaway to go camping, fishing, hiking, hunting etc as well as an escape in case of emergency etc. I would want it off the grid as it would be small and probably a tiny solar system to run some small things, and some type of homemade water system (have already researched it and have an idea how I want the complete setup as I do the solar power and the design of the cabin). I would love something, as I stated above, away from it all (no cities real close by) and preferably near a water source (ie river, lake etc).
Anyone have any idea on specific locations in the above states and/or website addresses to get more info on plots etc? I have researched a few but the more the merrier. Once I have the property everything would be done by myself with possibly some help from friends that have a lot more experience etc. I also need to research at what size a building that is being erected would require a permit and thus more expenses, taxes etc (from what I have read). I'm still in the premilinary planning stages and will need to sock some money, but I would love to have the plot purchased this time next year....also will depend on cost of the plot. I was hoping to keep it under $10k for the land but for anything more than 4 acres or so I think I may need to up my max. Of course a lot also depends on location. :rich:
Thanks!
