What is going on everyone? Welcome back to the world according to Briggs a
channel about the world I'm not sure if the channel name gave that away or not
we mostly talk about the United States but every so often we venture outside
the US border today ain't one of those days I've been getting a lot of requests
for cheap land videos people want to know where they could buy land they call
their own no house no mobile home just the land most the people that have
requested this video want the land for things like farming homesteading or just
living off the grid those who wish to live deliberately as Thoreau put it so
how did we create this list well we went to a few different real estate websites
and looked up lots for sale we had the websites list them lowest to
highest and went from there now tell you upfront some of these counties have
multiple locations that they're trying to sell land at but they're all around
the same price and I'm usually around the same location so we'll only be doing
like one entry per county and we won't be sticking exactly to the prices in
order if we did that this video would be about Arizona in New Mexico only they
have a lot of cheap land there that they're trying to unload and some of its
been on the market for like three years so yeah all right let's see where you
could buy some land set up your very own homestead tiny home or Ted Kaczynski Hut
number 10 Klamath County Oregon we start off in my home state of Oregon prices
have gone up at a good clip in the state over the last 10 years but most of our
rural eastern parts still have acres of land that cost around what a millennial
couple spends on coffee a year that coffee average is two thousand thirteen
dollars a year per person yeah I'm not even kidding I didn't know that's how
much people are spending on coffee I mean I'm probably one of them I just
never added it up Klamath County in 2020 has a handful of acres selling for
around $4,000 each this is just land some bushes a couple of trees and dirt
most of these spots are around the big city of BD Oregon I'm just kidding they
actually only have about 30 people and a mini-mart that thinks beer in all caps
is a good sales strategy the land is nice though it's a nice part of the
state number nine Alamosa county colorado
Alamosa county is in southern colorado east of durango near the New Mexico
border I drove through the town of Alamosa
many years ago I don't remember the town must
not have been very big back then oh it's not even really big right now but anyway
I was alway to spend Thanksgiving with an army buddy and his family in a little
town called Monte Vista which is nice that's nice little town it was fun trip
I was around 21 I met his family and it was weird every single one of his like
seven cousins were all female and beautiful all around eighteen to
twenty-two ish - it's like they made these girls in a lab it was amazing
anyway you can buy an acre to an acre and a half for about $3,500 in Alamosa
county those would be flat scrub brush kind of lands if you want to go east
pass Fort garland and into the mountains a bit you can get some wooded property
in the mountains for around 4,000 4,200 somewhere in there it's not a bad place
to live the whole county and past Fort Garland you have the Great Sand Dunes
National Park to the north and the Rio Grande National Park to the west it's a
nice part of Colorado a lot of scrub brush and stuff like that type land but
it's nice number eight Mohave County Arizona
just east Las Vegas you have Mohave County Arizona and the land is cheap I
mean less than a thousand bucks cheap but you probably won't want those plots
of land the ones you might want are going for around three thousand dollars
and they have plenty to choose from there are a couple downsides of owning
land here first of all it's hot as Hades here it is hot this is like one of the
hottest places in the country and kingman arizona is in the county if
you've never been to kingman don't I would rather purchase a chunk of land
far outside of town do all my shopping on Amazon and never go into Kingman that
is a good life plan now the good news is if you buy any of these lots of land
you're near Vegas so that's a plus all the money you're saving on land you can
go blow it in a casino if you're into hot weather and you want to do some
homesteading Under the Sun take a look at Mojave County if you do take one of
these chunks of land make sure you buy plenty of sunblock and get some good
solar panels to run that air conditioner like if you have a tiny house there well
tiny homes can get hot if you're not careful
number seven Luna County New Mexico the exciting County of Luna and there's
nothing going on here yeah that whole exciting thing I made that up there
absolutely nothing going on here if you're looking for a place to park a
tiny home and not be bothered this is a good place to look at the nearest town
is Deming which looks like a town where people store their dirt I'm not kidding
this place has so many dirt lots it's weird
I mean nobody has grass well some people do but very few and I understand it's
the desert and it's hard to have grass in the desert but it just looks like a
Dust Bowl anyway they have lots of all sizes and the cheapest decent ones being
around $2,200 that's it $2,200 and you get an acre of land in New Mexico if you
like water I wouldn't advise moving here because they have none there's no water
anywhere around no Lakes knows rivers no nothing you're gonna have to be going
into Deming to get all your water but if solitude quiet and stargazing is your
thing call a real estate agent around Deming or I don't know if Deming has any
real estate agents number six the Kenai Peninsula County Alaska finally we're
getting into some of the land that I would actually look at the Kenai
Peninsula in Alaska is beautiful and very inexpensive at times this place has
all the water you're gonna need and if you have a little bit of an outdoor
skill you could live off the land in the Kenai Peninsula
you could also become food for a bear so keep that in mind but really you have a
better chance of being killed by a moose so keep that one in mind I mean that's
humility it's one thing to be eaten by a super predator like a grizzly but you
know when your friends start passing around the rumor you're trying to drop a
deuce in the woods and you got trampled by a moose that's not a cool story
anyway you can get an acre for about $1,900 here they have a lot of wild
areas on the Kenai Peninsula so when these sales do pop up they're normally a
mile or two from the nearest city so it's a lot of travel you got to go
through to get supplies if you're not actually living off the land but you
want to park a tiny home or a trailer or something I get build a log freaking
cabin this is one of the best places to do it in my opinion
number five Gordon County Georgia in and around Gordon County Georgia you can
find more than a few pieces of land that are lost in the woods far removed from
anything that would be considered a town or village or burg or gas station not
just Gordon County this area has some really good ones starting off around
1800 dollars an acre which is solid especially for this area
plenty of trees plenty of water and more than enough gnats and ticks if you've
ever been walking around the Georgia outback you know exactly what I'm
talking about but if you're looking for a place in the woods and you have Vito
like nice bug repellent take a look at Gordon County Georgia
number four Delaware County Oklahoma yeah you heard me right
Oklahoma normally you won't hear people recommending Oklahoma for anything other
than cheap land here we are they have plenty of it
Delaware County is on the eastern side of Oklahoma near the Arkansas border
it's the good part of Arkansas which makes it a little more attractive
there's other parts of Arkansas that you want to stay away from put that whole
Fayetteville Springdale Rodgers area that's decent now this one's a little
bit different they already have the laid out roads and they have plenty of lots
to sell this might not be the best for people that want to homestead or live
off the grid but you can't beat the price now besides just these they do
have some in the area that aren't part of this community that are a decent
price too this one just comes with like the pool and all the stuff you'd get
from a gated community they just have too many lots to sell and no one it
seems to me is biting on them so it might be a good opportunity for a lot of
people number three sharp County Arkansas sharp county is located in
northern Arkansas and as of the 2010 census the population was 17,000 people
they figured 2020 it's gonna be close to the same the county was formed on July
18th 1868 and is named after Ephraim sharp a local politician they've been a
history of racism in this place sharp County was featured on the PBS program
banished forced some events that took place in 1906 it was done by the
independent lens it didn't paint a pretty picture of this community that
was over a hundred years ago these days they're known for having a lot of cheap
land and they got plenty of it not just sharp County they have a bunch of the
surrounding areas well you can get an acre and a half of land in the woods for
$2,300 it could take some digging and some timing because they go quick but
they have them if you feel like spending $4,000 you could find an acre on a creek
or a river away from everyone do all that fall off the grid stuff and
Arkansas if you wanted number two iron County Utah iron County is out in the
middle of frickin nowhere as of the 2010 census the population was 46
thousand residents that's for the whole county this isn't a city iron counties
right on the border with Nevada and just north of st. George Utah this is another
BYO W bring your own water there is none here if you need to find water invite me
out give me a set of golf clubs and I'll find some water for you but the good
news is they have really cheap land and petroglyphs yeah from different periods
carved into some of the rocks out there it's really neat you can get an acre out
here for a thousand bucks if you really want to fall off the grid this is your
place the only people you're ever going to see out here is probably NASA
training people for Mars because this closely resembles Mars but at least
you're off the grid and number one Navajo County Arizona
Winslow Arizona is in Navajo County and that's about the most interesting thing
I can tell you about this place Winslow Arizona was made famous by the Eagle
song take it easy there isn't much else to this area other than the cheap land
there's one of those little towns just east of Winslow called Sun Valley it's
one of those places that they lay down all the grid like they were gonna put
down the roads and get everything going and it never took off there's maybe six
or seven people that have put up houses there that means you could pick up a one
and a quarter acre plot of land for $1000 that's dirt cheap and that's good
too the dirt cheap cuz that's pretty much all you're buying it's doesn't even
have a really scrub brush or anything like that great place for a tiny home
again there might be water out there there might not be I couldn't find any
details on it but I doubt it all right so that is today's list I hope you guys
enjoyed it I know a lot of people been asking about this one that's about tiny
homes they ask about home steady now I don't have all the details whether you
can put up a tiny home on these but I know more and more communities or
letting people put up tiny homes so chances are you can homesteading that's
a different thing that goes way in depth do your research
learn about homesteading and see if you could do it send these places these are
the places you can get the cheapest land I will leave you some resource links if
it's something you want to look up in the description below like one I use
called land watch that's a good website you know there's Zillow and all those
other things that you can find stuff on but I'll leave some links below so you
could do your own research I'm just giving you an idea where they're at
don't you know email me and asked me if I could help you get in touch with the
city officials I that's not what I do one guy even asked me if I'd help them
fill out the paperwork to get some property again not what I do anyway so
yeah I'll leave you all the stuff below don't forget all the other links here
subscribe if you haven't give the video a big thumbs up if you liked it
