Cheapest land prices in the state..

Were in the state are the cheapest land prices, really I'm up for anything as long as its cheap preferable away from town.  Even the crappiest of land..

I noticed when looking that there are even ordnances in remote areas..  But doesn't really matter, we will be living in a off grid self contained RV (for lack of a better description) until I build. so sewer, water and power won't be a issue.. We got it all taken care of already.

One other thing I was interested in is if anyone was forming a freestate community?  Some one buys a bunch of land and the only people allowed to live there are free staters or like minded, kind of a gated community in a way..  I would be interested in living or starting one for FSP members that are into or supportive of offgrid or alternative living.. 

Pooling resources with like minded people, I went to one in Kentucky as a teenager it was a interesting concept, all memebers, worked on the property and what really got me thinking is that each person only worked about 4 hours a day.. as thats all that was needed to sustain the community.. they sold goods , nutbutters and hammocks, to the outside world to sustain there community and almost all there food was raised in gardens on there property, along with chickens and small livestock, they had there own schools etc. 

There community was not religious, they did have many religions and viewpoints on life, like they had vegans and non vegans.. they had nudest and non nudest people there.. It was quite a interesting socal group , they had rules and such to mind but nothing like what most people link as of froma government, everyone helped sustain the community.. and it took them alot less labor than they would be doing out in the real world.

It sounds like Grafton has very few zoning requirements and I've been told it's fairly cheap, by NH standards.  I don't know the absolute cheapest place for land prices but I would think as a general rule the further north and west, the cheaper...

Cool thanks!  I found a nice piece of property, it had a river on it and everything.. but I'm sure it will be gone when I'm ready to buy.

But that info will help my searches

There are few FSP members who are into the whole communal living thing but they do exist (none that i know of have actually moved and a few turned out to be plain old socialists). I think you will have more luck just buying some land that you can manage on your own. There are a lot of folks in Grafton who are very independently minded and there are even a few FSP members in this small town.

What are you looking for in terms of jobs? The problem with going far north is that the higher you go the less job opportunities there are. Grafton is no exception although it's not too bad if you're willing to commute or work from home. It's 30 minutes to Lebanon/Hanover and about 45 minutes to Concord from here.

You may want to search the FSP forum for 'White Mountain Land Club'
There should be some good info in that thread although it is now defunct.

Same thing . . . north and west.  www.nemoves.com is a decent search engine for looking for land/houses.

That's awesome.  My girlfriend and I just bought our first house about two years ago.  I love it but we made a decision that our next place is going to be self-sufficient.  I've got a lot to learn before then though.  Can you recommend any resources that I should start studying?

I would possibly be interested but not for another two years or so.  Gotta stick by the cities for the jobs for now.

Where in Kentucky?  Just curious . . . my family is from there.  I grew up in southwestern Ohio.

E-ville,

I've had that same sort of thought, but in a different way.  My thought was to find a stretch of road with lots of land for sale and maybe purchasing it in stages.  The first stage would be to put up a big cheap metal building with maybe a grocery store, a lumber yard or hardware store, and a diner which would be owned and run by the co-op.  Then the co-op could purchase more land and begin to build houses at cost for it's members using member labor.  It has a lot of possibilities and potential.  Eventually, the Co-op could have and own a small town
