today I'm going to tell you where you could find the cheapest open land in the United States that's
right we're looking at those places for the Off the Grid homesteading hermit types we're talking
acres here not homes not everyone wants a new home with all the bells and whistles that comes with a
hefty mortgage some people just want some land and build their American dream and sometimes people
turn it into a YouTube channel side note that's a very popular genre on YouTube get a piece of
land and start building a cabin if done properly and interestingly it'll pay for itself and you'll
probably be able to quit your day job the national average for an acre of land in the second quarter
of 2023 is about 69 thousand dollars the states on this list are well below that number and I promise
you you will be shocked at some of the states that have very affordable acres of land in this country
it kind of blew me away I was a little surprised some that I thought for sure would be on this list
weren't and as I got into it I found out that there are different prices for the minerals and
water right so states that you thought would have cheap land might not our last video we did where
you could find the cheapest homes in the United States this ain't that video this is just the land
and for the most part it's completely different states get it not it good let's take a look
number 10 Perry County Alabama Perry County is located in Central Alabama and it's known for
its Rich civil rights history and contains the town of Marion and the Marion Military
Institute I have a friend that went there we were talking about one animal so what'd you
learn there he goes I learned I didn't want to be an officer it's been years since I talked to
him but I think he retired a sergeant major in the Army the county was established in
1819 and is named in honor of commodore Oliver Hazard Perry of Rhode Island he was the United
States naval officer if you want to buy some residential acreage in Alabama their average
price is going to be eighteen thousand one hundred dollars and your best bet of
fine in that price or lower is in Perry County currently Alabama has 4904 Acres listed for sale
number nine Harmon County Oklahoma located in the southwestern part of Oklahoma Harmon is the
least populous County and it's for the most part Farmland but they still have some residential
acreage for sale Harmon was established in 1909 and is named after Judson Harmon who was the
governor of Ohio at the time the county seat is Hollis Hollis is the biggest town with about 2
000 residents the entire County of Harmon is bordered by Texas to the west and the
prairie dog Town Fort of the Red River to the South this whole county is flat and very rural
the kind of place where Woodland is exciting the average acre of land in Oklahoma is eight
thousand four hundred and five dollars and if you want to live in Harmon that's where
you're going to find the best chance of finding some of that affordable acreage
Oklahoma right now has about 5 686 acres for sale that's just residential Acres
number eight Lake County Oregon Lake County is located in South Central Oregon this county is
largely characterized by High Desert mountains and vast Open Spaces in case you don't know
much about Oregon only like the Western third of the state is that forested rainy stuff the
back half or the back two-thirds that's some mountains and a lot of high desert type area
you know grassland type thing this county is named after its many lakes found within its
boundaries including Lake Albert Summer Lake Heart Lake and Goose Lake if you want to buy
some acreage in Oregon the average price is 16 200 and your best place to try and
get that price is in Lake County currently Oregon has 3536 Acres listed for sale now
when I say that that's just residential acres and those are the only ones listed just plots
of land no house zone for residential and we're just talking about the average in
Oregon there can be some like in Lake County right now that can be as low as six thousand
number seven St Lawrence County New York St Lawrence County is located in the northern part
of New York it's the largest county in New York by area and is characterized by its rural Landscapes
and the Adirondack Mountains now you're probably surprised that New York made this list everyone
just assumes the entire state of New York is extremely expensive because of New York City
this whole state gets a bad rap and a good rap sometimes because of New York City New York and
New York City are two different states they're almost two different countries seems like the
average acreage price in New York is 12 309 for residential acreage your best chance of finding
that or something cheaper is in St Lawrence County there are currently 4 987 Acres listed for sale
number six Shannon County Missouri Shannon county is in the Ozarks and it's known for
its state parks and forests I know Arkansas and Missouri both have the Ozarks in it and
that's you know those aren't the greatest States but the Ozarks are beautiful thing I love about
this part of the country and especially Missouri there always seems to be a Lake Reservoir Creek
or river just to hang out by there's water everywhere it seems like if you want to buy
a few acres of land in Missouri it's going to run you about 11 100 that's the average
and your best chance to find that or cheaper is going to be in Shannon County currently
Shannon County has 6490 Acres listed they have a lot more that's just what's listed right now
thank you number five Holmes County Mississippi if it's gonna be cheap Mississippi's gonna be
on the list even though Mississippi is one of the older States we have it is very rural
always has been always will be so that tells you they're probably gonna have a lot of acreage for
sale Holmes County is in the Delta region of Mississippi it is bordered to the west
by the Yazoo River and the eastern border is the Big Black River if you're looking for it
on a map it is north of Jackson Mississippi and the biggest town in this County would be Durant
and it's only got a population of about 2 200 residents if you want to get an acre of land in
Mississippi your best bet is going to be Holmes County and the average price is around 9720 per
acre and the entire state of Mississippi has about 4 300 acres for sale right now
number four Castilla County Colorado if you're from Arkansas you probably want
to call it Costilla this County is located in the southern part of Colorado and it has
a rich history with many historic sites it sits on the border with New Mexico not too
far north from Taos New Mexico the first time I drove through here it reminded me
of like Southeastern California it's just got that whole same I don't know deserty look if
you've never been to Colorado or you don't know much about Colorado the entire state is not the
Rockies so keep that in mind the largest city and the county seat is San Luis in 2020 it had
about 3 500 residents and it is the oldest continuously occupied town in Colorado the
average acre price in Colorado is 8214 and your best chance of finding that price or better would
be in Costilla County currently Colorado has 4919 acres for sale or at least listed
number three Jackson County Arkansas now we're getting cheap Arkansas has a whole
bunch of problems being expensive ain't one of them that's if you're buying a soda or an
acre or land it's always cheap in Arkansas and especially in Jackson County Jackson County is
located in northeastern Arkansas along the White River it is largely agricultural with
some forested areas as well this County like just about everything else in the south is named after
Andrew Jackson a national hero during the war of 1812. by the country's formation in 1829 Jackson
had become the seventh president of the United States there's a lot of Jacksons that a lot of
things in the South are named after Andrew Jackson Stonewall Jackson Michael Jackson
and of course Alan Jackson nothing's really named after him but he is a southerner give
it some time they'll name something after him he was born outside of Atlanta in Newnan and I
didn't realize it that dude is 64 years old I honestly thought that he was a lot younger
than that I don't really follow his music I just always assumed he was in his 40s since like 19
94 I guess but if you want to buy some acreage in Arkansas the average price is
eight thousand one hundred dollars and your best chance of finding that is going to be
in Jackson County Arkansas currently they have listed 8750 acres for sale
number two Mora County New Mexico have you ever seen New Mexico I mean they got great sunsets but
after that it's just a whole lot of desert and when you got a whole lot of desert you do have
a whole lot of cheap land that's just how it goes Mora county is situated in the northern
part of New Mexico it is known for its Scenic Beauty including valleys mountains and historic
sites you know like I've said many times I'm not a desert guy but I still recognize New Mexico is
a beautiful state he's got a whole bunch of problems and because of those problems it's
really cheap to buy land here the largest city here and the county seat is the city
of Mora and it's not that big I called it a city it's really not it's only got 547 people living
there the original settlement I guess you could say in Mora dates back to 1818. wasn't always
occupied but that's about when it started at least for Europeans it was the Spanish
in this area if you wanted to buy some acres in New Mexico the average price is 5448 and more
where you'd want to go to find that price or lower like I've been saying
and number one Apache County Arizona now this one's really cheap and it's there's a little
weird thing to it because not everyone can buy land in this whole County Apache County is
located in the northeastern corner of Arizona and contains parts of the Navajo Nation reservation
by land on reservation you gotta either be a Navajo or you got to do a bunch of paperwork
sometimes you might not even be able to buy the land there but not all of Apache county is on the
Navajo reservation this county is part of the Four Corners because it's eastern border is New Mexico
it's northern border is Utah and at a point it touches Colorado they also have a small sliver
of their border is the Hopi reservation if you want to buy some land in Arizona an acre costs
about 4 645 on average now there's certain parts of Arizona where it's way above that and about 4
000 is the absolute cheapest you're gonna find and that's probably gonna be in Apache County Arizona
right now Arizona has about 9761 residential Acres listed
all right, that's today's video. I hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information out of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
