If you're looking for a very reliable property you should look into a small acreage, they hold and increase in value well regardless of housing trends.
You aren't going to be able to buy small amounts of farm land however, only large amounts.
Farm land is dirt cheap and some farmers split up the land into building lots. If you want to buy a farm with dilapidated buildings and say 40 acres you can get it for under $100,000 here. Amish buy the farms and work them. Average person cant do shit with it as nobody wants to live in the middle of nowhere. Land unless its waterfront property is a bad investment with little or no ROI.
