What is going on everyone? Welcome back to the world according to Briggs a
[7]
channel about the world I'm not sure if the channel name gave that away or not
[12]
we mostly talk about the United States but every so often we venture outside
[16]
the US border today ain't one of those days I've been getting a lot of requests
[20]
for cheap land videos people want to know where they could buy land they call
[25]
their own no house no mobile home just the land most the people that have
[28]
requested this video want the land for things like farming homesteading or just
[32]
living off the grid those who wish to live deliberately as Thoreau put it so
[36]
how did we create this list well we went to a few different real estate websites
[41]
and looked up lots for sale we had the websites list them lowest to
[45]
highest and went from there now tell you upfront some of these counties have
[48]
multiple locations that they're trying to sell land at but they're all around
[51]
the same price and I'm usually around the same location so we'll only be doing
[55]
like one entry per county and we won't be sticking exactly to the prices in
[59]
order if we did that this video would be about Arizona in New Mexico only they
[64]
have a lot of cheap land there that they're trying to unload and some of its
[68]
been on the market for like three years so yeah all right let's see where you
[72]
could buy some land set up your very own homestead tiny home or Ted Kaczynski Hut
[78]
number 10 Klamath County Oregon we start off in my home state of Oregon prices
[83]
have gone up at a good clip in the state over the last 10 years but most of our
[87]
rural eastern parts still have acres of land that cost around what a millennial
[91]
couple spends on coffee a year that coffee average is two thousand thirteen
[96]
dollars a year per person yeah I'm not even kidding I didn't know that's how
[100]
much people are spending on coffee I mean I'm probably one of them I just
[103]
never added it up Klamath County in 2020 has a handful of acres selling for
[107]
around $4,000 each this is just land some bushes a couple of trees and dirt
[112]
most of these spots are around the big city of BD Oregon I'm just kidding they
[117]
actually only have about 30 people and a mini-mart that thinks beer in all caps
[121]
is a good sales strategy the land is nice though it's a nice part of the
[125]
state number nine Alamosa county colorado
[129]
Alamosa county is in southern colorado east of durango near the New Mexico
[133]
border I drove through the town of Alamosa
[136]
many years ago I don't remember the town must
[138]
not have been very big back then oh it's not even really big right now but anyway
[142]
I was alway to spend Thanksgiving with an army buddy and his family in a little
[146]
town called Monte Vista which is nice that's nice little town it was fun trip
[149]
I was around 21 I met his family and it was weird every single one of his like
[154]
seven cousins were all female and beautiful all around eighteen to
[158]
twenty-two ish - it's like they made these girls in a lab it was amazing
[161]
anyway you can buy an acre to an acre and a half for about $3,500 in Alamosa
[167]
county those would be flat scrub brush kind of lands if you want to go east
[172]
pass Fort garland and into the mountains a bit you can get some wooded property
[177]
in the mountains for around 4,000 4,200 somewhere in there it's not a bad place
[181]
to live the whole county and past Fort Garland you have the Great Sand Dunes
[185]
National Park to the north and the Rio Grande National Park to the west it's a
[190]
nice part of Colorado a lot of scrub brush and stuff like that type land but
[194]
it's nice number eight Mohave County Arizona
[199]
just east Las Vegas you have Mohave County Arizona and the land is cheap I
[203]
mean less than a thousand bucks cheap but you probably won't want those plots
[206]
of land the ones you might want are going for around three thousand dollars
[210]
and they have plenty to choose from there are a couple downsides of owning
[213]
land here first of all it's hot as Hades here it is hot this is like one of the
[218]
hottest places in the country and kingman arizona is in the county if
[222]
you've never been to kingman don't I would rather purchase a chunk of land
[226]
far outside of town do all my shopping on Amazon and never go into Kingman that
[231]
is a good life plan now the good news is if you buy any of these lots of land
[236]
you're near Vegas so that's a plus all the money you're saving on land you can
[240]
go blow it in a casino if you're into hot weather and you want to do some
[244]
homesteading Under the Sun take a look at Mojave County if you do take one of
[249]
these chunks of land make sure you buy plenty of sunblock and get some good
[252]
solar panels to run that air conditioner like if you have a tiny house there well
[256]
tiny homes can get hot if you're not careful
[259]
number seven Luna County New Mexico the exciting County of Luna and there's
[265]
nothing going on here yeah that whole exciting thing I made that up there
[269]
absolutely nothing going on here if you're looking for a place to park a
[272]
tiny home and not be bothered this is a good place to look at the nearest town
[276]
is Deming which looks like a town where people store their dirt I'm not kidding
[279]
this place has so many dirt lots it's weird
[282]
I mean nobody has grass well some people do but very few and I understand it's
[286]
the desert and it's hard to have grass in the desert but it just looks like a
[289]
Dust Bowl anyway they have lots of all sizes and the cheapest decent ones being
[295]
around $2,200 that's it $2,200 and you get an acre of land in New Mexico if you
[301]
like water I wouldn't advise moving here because they have none there's no water
[305]
anywhere around no Lakes knows rivers no nothing you're gonna have to be going
[308]
into Deming to get all your water but if solitude quiet and stargazing is your
[313]
thing call a real estate agent around Deming or I don't know if Deming has any
[317]
real estate agents number six the Kenai Peninsula County Alaska finally we're
[323]
getting into some of the land that I would actually look at the Kenai
[326]
Peninsula in Alaska is beautiful and very inexpensive at times this place has
[330]
all the water you're gonna need and if you have a little bit of an outdoor
[334]
skill you could live off the land in the Kenai Peninsula
[337]
you could also become food for a bear so keep that in mind but really you have a
[341]
better chance of being killed by a moose so keep that one in mind I mean that's
[345]
humility it's one thing to be eaten by a super predator like a grizzly but you
[349]
know when your friends start passing around the rumor you're trying to drop a
[352]
deuce in the woods and you got trampled by a moose that's not a cool story
[356]
anyway you can get an acre for about $1,900 here they have a lot of wild
[361]
areas on the Kenai Peninsula so when these sales do pop up they're normally a
[365]
mile or two from the nearest city so it's a lot of travel you got to go
[368]
through to get supplies if you're not actually living off the land but you
[372]
want to park a tiny home or a trailer or something I get build a log freaking
[376]
cabin this is one of the best places to do it in my opinion
[380]
number five Gordon County Georgia in and around Gordon County Georgia you can
[386]
find more than a few pieces of land that are lost in the woods far removed from
[390]
anything that would be considered a town or village or burg or gas station not
[396]
just Gordon County this area has some really good ones starting off around
[399]
1800 dollars an acre which is solid especially for this area
[403]
plenty of trees plenty of water and more than enough gnats and ticks if you've
[407]
ever been walking around the Georgia outback you know exactly what I'm
[410]
talking about but if you're looking for a place in the woods and you have Vito
[414]
like nice bug repellent take a look at Gordon County Georgia
[418]
number four Delaware County Oklahoma yeah you heard me right
[423]
Oklahoma normally you won't hear people recommending Oklahoma for anything other
[427]
than cheap land here we are they have plenty of it
[430]
Delaware County is on the eastern side of Oklahoma near the Arkansas border
[434]
it's the good part of Arkansas which makes it a little more attractive
[437]
there's other parts of Arkansas that you want to stay away from put that whole
[441]
Fayetteville Springdale Rodgers area that's decent now this one's a little
[446]
bit different they already have the laid out roads and they have plenty of lots
[449]
to sell this might not be the best for people that want to homestead or live
[453]
off the grid but you can't beat the price now besides just these they do
[457]
have some in the area that aren't part of this community that are a decent
[462]
price too this one just comes with like the pool and all the stuff you'd get
[466]
from a gated community they just have too many lots to sell and no one it
[470]
seems to me is biting on them so it might be a good opportunity for a lot of
[474]
people number three sharp County Arkansas sharp county is located in
[480]
northern Arkansas and as of the 2010 census the population was 17,000 people
[484]
they figured 2020 it's gonna be close to the same the county was formed on July
[488]
18th 1868 and is named after Ephraim sharp a local politician they've been a
[494]
history of racism in this place sharp County was featured on the PBS program
[497]
banished forced some events that took place in 1906 it was done by the
[501]
independent lens it didn't paint a pretty picture of this community that
[505]
was over a hundred years ago these days they're known for having a lot of cheap
[508]
land and they got plenty of it not just sharp County they have a bunch of the
[512]
surrounding areas well you can get an acre and a half of land in the woods for
[516]
$2,300 it could take some digging and some timing because they go quick but
[520]
they have them if you feel like spending $4,000 you could find an acre on a creek
[525]
or a river away from everyone do all that fall off the grid stuff and
[529]
Arkansas if you wanted number two iron County Utah iron County is out in the
[534]
middle of frickin nowhere as of the 2010 census the population was 46
[539]
thousand residents that's for the whole county this isn't a city iron counties
[542]
right on the border with Nevada and just north of st. George Utah this is another
[546]
BYO W bring your own water there is none here if you need to find water invite me
[552]
out give me a set of golf clubs and I'll find some water for you but the good
[556]
news is they have really cheap land and petroglyphs yeah from different periods
[560]
carved into some of the rocks out there it's really neat you can get an acre out
[564]
here for a thousand bucks if you really want to fall off the grid this is your
[568]
place the only people you're ever going to see out here is probably NASA
[572]
training people for Mars because this closely resembles Mars but at least
[577]
you're off the grid and number one Navajo County Arizona
[582]
Winslow Arizona is in Navajo County and that's about the most interesting thing
[586]
I can tell you about this place Winslow Arizona was made famous by the Eagle
[590]
song take it easy there isn't much else to this area other than the cheap land
[594]
there's one of those little towns just east of Winslow called Sun Valley it's
[598]
one of those places that they lay down all the grid like they were gonna put
[601]
down the roads and get everything going and it never took off there's maybe six
[605]
or seven people that have put up houses there that means you could pick up a one
[609]
and a quarter acre plot of land for $1000 that's dirt cheap and that's good
[614]
too the dirt cheap cuz that's pretty much all you're buying it's doesn't even
[617]
have a really scrub brush or anything like that great place for a tiny home
[620]
again there might be water out there there might not be I couldn't find any
[624]
details on it but I doubt it all right so that is today's list I hope you guys
[630]
enjoyed it I know a lot of people been asking about this one that's about tiny
[633]
homes they ask about home steady now I don't have all the details whether you
[636]
can put up a tiny home on these but I know more and more communities or
[640]
letting people put up tiny homes so chances are you can homesteading that's
[643]
