From what you post, Alabama is the place for you to look at. Were I to move again, I'd be looking at Alabama.

You say you are in your early 30's and have a daughter that lives in Dallas.
I assume then that she is young enough to need your presence in her life.
I'd stay in the DFW area and help raise my daughter.

Dump the dental floss!


Start using mental floss!

Better stay put.

If you want to build a place for your Daughter than why not move to DFW? Plenty of land West of Fort Worth and East of Dallas.

Have you thought about Canada? DUmmies are always saying they're going to move to Canada when things are going their way down here.

Is this a singles' ad?

I know a place in which you'd be very happy: It's called Democratic Underground. Not sure of the zip code.

How about Fantasy Land?

You should send a letter to Jon Carry. He can help you marry rich and then you could have many houses!

It must be nice to live in your head with Peter Pan and the Easter bunny, but good luck finding the place you seek.

What I want: **I am looking for something that reminds me of the "100 acre wood" from Winnie the Pooh, or "The Shire" from the Lord of the Rings, for lack of a better description; I intending to build a self sustaining "off the grid", homestead type parcel of land with a house that looks akin to a "Hobbit Hole" or earth shelter.

Well, good luck with that Hobbit Hole! I hope you use reinforced concrete.
REALLY reinforced.

You may want to subscribe, as I do to Backwoods Home, Mother Earth News, and Country or Countryside Magazine. You will find like souls there. MEN has lots of info about haybale homes that could be a hobbit's dream.

Stay near your children

Just do like a friend of mine did. Marry a young widow with a Nice house, 150 acre farm and a bomb shelter.

Alaska, Wyoming, and Idaho don't quite work for me.

Don't know about the others, but Alaska is gone. Twenty years ago there were still some pieces of Alaska left, but it is so over that it can't even be explained to the newcomers.

Sounds like rural mountainous south is for you--WV on down to Alabama. Get some regional magazine subscriptions about the Blue Ridge, the Smokies. Some of these areas have turned resort and have gotten expensive. Having what you want and a thriving night/restaurant scene will be very difficult--I visit these types of places for overnights like in Asheville, Greenville and at one time Atlanta (I can't handle Atlanta even for pleasure visits anymore). North GA, North Carolina, Southwestern Virginia. Just follow the lines of the ridges.

I live in Colorado and you can forget the Rockies. There are no Hobbit/100 Acre Wood type of environments in this state. That requires a mild climate and a lot of water, neither of which we have.
