You haven't said what your land requirements are. Are you looking for isolated? Near to shopping? Lakefront?

NH properties can definitely be found for less than $150k. The first one I checked, on Silent Way in Keene (a beautiful mid-sized college town, pop 23k, not too many miles from me.), has 33 acres for $90k. It's off of Main Street. I'm familiar with that area. It's flat land. The ad says it has municipal water available but I'm sure you could put in a well if that's your preference. It *does* have a road frontage problem. When we bought, we made our purchase offer contingent on our town's selectmen okaying the necessary variance required to build - which they did, no problem.

I've captured a pic of Silent Way, posted below. Ignore the red thumbtack - I don't know where the land is relative to the street, but it's likely one of those wooded lots. (My guess based on the described lack of frontage is the "triangular" lot near the end of the road.) You could probably have the property logged (we're always receiving offers) and earn $15k.

As you can see, it's not in the boondocks. There's a Wal-mart about 5 minutes away. Target and Home Depot are just a little further. Shopping would be easy. Keene has a really nice, modern hospital that's part of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock medical system.

If you want something more remote, prices are generally less but the inconveniences are generally greater.

We looked in Virginia, then West Virginia, then western South Carolina. Back down to Florida and now back to Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay.
Land is extremely expensive. Even in the mountains of South Carolina it was high. I was hoping to find 25 to 35 acres for $150-$200k. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
I don’t think we’ll be building a house. At least not a stick built house. Maybe a kit House of some kind. Best would be to find land with a liveable farm house on it. We don’t need a big house, we lived on a boat so we’re use to not having much room.
