Default Best place for inexpensive rural living
We are looking to buy several (20+++) acres for simple, ranchette living. Where is the land affordable ($200000), the weather mild, and the people friendly and conservative? No school age children, so schools are not important. Would like travel time to town to be under 45 minutes.
Thanks,
HHR

Rural Jackson or Jefferson County might be a good place to start. Those areas are within 30 minutes of both Lawrence and Topeka metro areas. Population densities in both counties are under 35 people per square mile. The weather is mild for the most part, but cold weather IS to be expected in the winter obviously. Prices would be much cheaper than the national average because demand is not high. Population growth is slow in both of these counties.

Anderson County is very livable. Several farm communities within driving distance of Lawrence, Kansas City, and Iola.

The "weather is mild"??? In Kansas??? Maybe a month a year! You'd best look down here in Georgia!
