You got me looking at land, dang it, lol.
Here’s 24 acres in Caswell County, NC, less than 2k per acre. Looks like much of the timber has been cut over and sold in the past five years, some former ag fields that appear to be something that could be put back to productive use with a bush hog and a good plowing. Creek on the property, but it is on a through route, so it’s not as removed as I’d prefer if I were looking for this sort of thing.
All in all, you could do worse and pay more for it, it’s not an ugly piece of property, just your usual parcel of an older, larger farm.

This isn’t the best news - in a long-term collapse situation, you’re gonna need a good-sized woodlot, since wood will be your only energy source for heating and cooking.. (Something to keep in mind when you outfit your house - wood-burning heating and cooking stoves are going to be more than cutesy household accents...)
