Well good land isn't cheap. Then there's the cost of building your home. Then there's the utilities. Getting a well dug. Then there's the permitting. That can cost like 30 or $40,000 right fucking there depending on where you're at. Maybe even more. If you want your own electricity then solar panels are expensive as hell and don't even think about trying to run your whole place on gas because that's going to end up being over $1,000 a month. To get everything set up you're looking at easily the same price as buying a house all together for 3 to 400,000 and good luck getting the bank to sign a mortgage on it

You don't have to do it way out in the country. An ordinary home and lot works fine.
Then you're still looking at about $500,000.
