Don’t want to be out in the middle of nowhere. Like to be close to a town. We’ve given up on being on a lake/water. Don’t want a lot of trees,pasture would be better. Biggest problem is my wife’s not to keen on being up north in the cold. I like New Hampshire. Have a few cousins who have lived there all their lives. And when I was a kid our family had a summer cottage up there.
An unexpected problem we discovered is the local government getting in your way of building what you want. Even if the land is zoned properly the county here may not give you a building permit unless you build a giant house. We want to build a small 750-1000 sq ft house. They want you to build a minimum of 2250 sq ft so they can get more real estate tax.
