I've about given up on finding the right place. I want something with lots of land and water rights, but a small house. The problem is banks want to loan on houses, not land, and they want the house to be worth more than the land. Plus you cant finance prefabs etc, and the maximum acreage is 10. Its just impossible to do it unless one comes up with cash, and if your property ends up the type that cant be financed, then it is worth less in the end. The banking system's rules are essentially forcing people to build McMansions. Jeez, I'd be happy enough to have 20 acres of pasture and trees and live in my yurt!

I heard an ad on the radio for a 50x100 General Steel building for 35K. That may or may not include the footings, but wow. Dont bother building your own barn.
