Is this a rural area closer to the Tri-State region? I have my sights for retiring in the rural eastern Lakes Region of NH as property values haven't gotten out of control in that area.

Not from what I've seen, most migration from larger metro areas are going to suburban and exurban areas, not generally rural areas that are more remote.

What rural land that is left here is being sold off to developers to build new homes and subdivisions.
The kids are not into the family farming business anymore and sell out to real estate developers. It's disappearing real fast.

There is plenty of remote rural land left. Plenty. Folks don’t buy it cause they don’t even know how to cook for themselves. Domino’s doesn’t deliver.

For years I've wanted to buy a piece of land away from the city, to homestead and hunt.

I know I won't just magically become a farmer overnight. It's a lot of hard work and some skills needed, plus the little detail of how to fund the project.

But just to have a homestead...we can dream, at least. Sadly the demand for land is rising so it's becoming less affordable. But you never know, a few acres next to state forest might show up for sale and then BAM! I'll pounce on it.

I am not sure about that. I see many abandoned old farms, the barns are leaning and the paint is gone from the siding on the farm house.

I have not seen any new developments in this area for years. But I do see a lot of abandoned farms.
