Reply to comment by mmaalex in Has anyone put a yurt on some land before? by stricly_business

Wow this was extremely helpful, thanks for sharing! It sounds like a small town will be our best option. We'd like something near the south of the state to be close to home, so hopefully there are some towns down there that fit the bill. Time to do some research!

There are however, property prices tend to be pretty high down south. The further you get away from Boston/Portland the cheaper stuff gets. Once you get out of the weekend driving range of Boston prices drop off a cliff pretty quick.

There are waterfront camp lots in interior Washington County (vicinity of Rt 9) available for <$50k.

I've found that Landwatch.com can be a good way to find cheaper rural acreage. Generally lower priced listing don't get the full MLS treatment because of the cost of listing.

Unfortunately, we are one of those weekend city folks from Boston, so we are kinda forced to look down south. I'll definitely check out Landwatch.com - thanks for all the tips!
