There is a thread started that asks where your land is at and to post a picture of land or cabin.
That is great you have some land to enjoy and good luck
I also have right at 65 and mine is also very rugged country.

55 acres in the Catskills: but on the side of a mountain with lots of ledges. Backs up to the State Forest so nothing for a long ways in that direction. 3 waterfalls, views to the east as far as the eye can see.

5 acres w/a view of Mt. McKinley and a creek in front. About a half million acres of state land off to the west between us and the Alaska Range, which breeds mosquitos quite nicely this time of year, but makes for ski/snow machine heaven.

The shack's on 30 acres that joins about 1200 acres of nearly unused national forest. It's half a mile back a rough lane off the black top road, and when you get there you're half a mile or more from any other roads. We carried each cabin part about 200' back into the woods. I mow about 1.5 acres twice a year or so and try to keep a fire area, the lane, and a couple of paths open. We also have about 140 that includes an Indian signal mound that must have a 15-20 mile view (rare in Ohio) without a building in sight. And about 120 with that creek I always wanted to play in as a (younger) kid. Call me nuts but I prefer dirt to the stock market. We feel very blessed.

We are up to 400 acres (162 ha for my fellow canucks) in central SK now.
-140 acres (57 ha) of relatively natural bush comprised mostly of trembling aspen, balsam poplar and hazelnut
-130 acres (53 ha) of alfalfa/hay and unused pasture
-lots of wetlands including one that covers 110 acres (45 ha)
-there are also two temporary streams and a number of hillside water seeps
-and one abandoned farm yard/house
Not as pretty or majestic as many of the properties here with mountain/ocean/lake vistas or waterfalls and streams but it will do. Overall a nice mix of habitats.

There is only 25 acres but fortunately, it is surrounded by Ohio State forest so with a land locked cabin site deep in the 25, it certainly seems much larger.

I do agree with you and it's like it is all ours. My son owns some land that boarders State land and it is a good fit for him.

Only one acre. Back perimeter borders 2300 acres. my way of not giving New York anymore money than I have to. Taxes are goofy in this state. Took me 3 years to find something that bordered state land.

I thought I had posted here...
We have 25 acres where our A-frame is, backed up to hundreds of thousands is USFS land.
Our other cabin that is for sale is ~13 acres backed up to more USFS land, but less of it.
At home we have a 40 acre hobby farm about 50 miles NW of the Mpls area.
I always thought it would be cool to have a hundred acres total, but I am over that at this point, and would settle for just our 25 and be good with that and about another 5 to live on in west central Idaho.

11.5 acres on a hill top in central Texas, with a 20 mile view to the west overlooking a valley. The property is populated with Mountain cedar and Live Oak, with a few Texas Red Oaks and Cedar Elms as well as a lot of rock. Just finished fencing the boundary and am now planning to begin construction on a 24x32 cabin.
Have electricity already installed but no water access yet. Been hauling water for now, but planning to harvest rainwater once cabin is built. Can't afford to drill a well, water is at least 600ft deep, cost would be >$20K.

I am 20 acres, planning to build this spring a small cabin there. Most of the land has been cleared 5 years ago so it allowed me a good pricing when i purchased. I paid 15 000$ here in Quebec for this land.
My neighbor lot is for sale, 60 more acres which is pretty interesting too... but the money is short a little bit for now so I'll wait and see.
Just curious, how much did you guys pay for your land and how high are the taxes?

I am in SK. Our land is not in the resort area(s) so it is much cheaper.
Our first bit of land (240 acres) we bought in 2009 we paid ~$300/acre for what they called recreational land bush and sloughs ie hunting, atv and snowmobile etc. In 2011 we bought the 160 acres adjacent to it we paid ~$400/acre. It was mostly hay land with a derelict 25 acre farm yard zero value buildings on it. Total taxes are about $500.
We have been watching any land sales in our area that are similar and there is a 10 acre derelict yard site with power, and zero value buildings, surrounded by cropland that the asking price is $30K for just the yard site. We also saw a 159 acre plot, mostly hay and bush, with liveable 700 sq ft house and outbuildings go for $94k.
