Try east Tennessee. Beautiful mountains, inexpensive land, low taxes, plenty of room, close proximity to Smokey Mountain National Park, mild temperatures and great hunting and fishing. Lots of historical sites within driving distance and you’re not too far from civilization. Only drawback is lack of diversity.
28 responses in 40 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. Congrats. You got everyone here wanting to help you out. Me-I can only live for 2 years any where b4 the wanderlust sets in. Hawaii offers island fever-not good. Great for a summer or winter. New England is perfect in the fall. The Greek Islands-rent a room in Piraeus for 6 summer months and spend half of them checking out the rest of them. At some point you will want to ‘sleep in your own bed’. For a US road tripper getting used to the same mattress helps as the seasons change. Buy a van. Join 1000 Trails. Life will be good.
“Only drawback is lack of diversity.”
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Rural E TN would be a poor choice. You’ll always be the outsider and if anything goes sideways you’ll be the first to be shot and/or robbed. Trying to go it alone, which you will have to, is pretty much a death sentence. I suspect most rural places in the south will be similar. Southern hospitality is a myth and behind those toothy smiles are a pack of inbred murderers. Youd do better to form alliances where you are.
Lack of diversity would be considered a plus.
