About 3 weeks ago a very wealthy relative passed away. I had no idea I was in the will/trust. It turns out that I'm down for $200,000 now and a few million when their spouse passes. It's time to start looking for a 20 or 30 acre spread.
Where would you go, in the continental US, if it happened to you and why?

200K is a good chunk but in the big picture it's not. Hold on to it, invest it and wait for the real money to come in if you are young enough.

Go organic.
Buy some place in the middle of nowhere that is adjacent to a forest with a stream.
Have some gardens growing vegetables. Have some fruit trees for each season.
Have a house with solar power and a rainwater tank.
Get some goats. They eat weeds, not grass. Have two to three offspring at once, so you get good amounts of meat and land management from a small herd of goats compared to anything else. In drought they will eat the leaves off trees.
Chickens breed like rabbits and give you eggs.
Rabbits taste good.
Hunt some deer. Use a bow. Catch some fish. Use a net.
Total cost ~$80k.

Real estate in coastal NC is dirt cheap & a gold mine if you over insure w/ all the massive flooding & hurricane potential.
