Further east, county (Cherokee) land prices rise. My daughter and hubby wanted to retire in Blue Ridge, (up north with 4 seasons) - they're now going over the border to a state with much lower taxes and land prices. BTW: Something I never thought of when buying this property, check the cost of water of you aren't having your own well.

We're on a wooded lot. The middle of the bush. We've cleard enough land for a large veggie garden. But we don't plan on clearing land to grow grain crops. We will always have to buy our flour etc, and animal feed. But we only have 4 goats, and are just getting a few chickens. It's not too much. We can sugar, and keep bees. And of course, lots o ...
Nearly all land in Maine is private owned. Very little state owned land. So 'NO' you can not file a homestead in Maine. You can however buy land. I have bought forest land for $300/acre and $900/acre. I have 42 acres of forest land that is river frontage. And 105 acres of forest that has no river access.
But I thought I would ask to see if anyone had some thoughts. I already own hill country land, and prairie land near Waco,TX.

So I am looking for at least 50 acres for the next homestead.
If there's any free land, I'm sure it would not be fit for homesteading, gardening etc. You'd also need money for seeds, feed, farm machinery etc. Very few people can live on their homestead without some outside income. Look at the state you live in - Arizona - NE and SW Az has cheap land - but no water along with poor soil.
On a raw homestead (land only), with no electric power nor easy access to it, it is hard to get initial power to start building infrastructure. Most folks might start out by buying "intermediate" power sources, like small gas generators, and trying to get by with that.
Have your credit card handy, land is very expensive unless it's steep. Like everything else, it's a matter of supply and demand. There is very little land between the mountains and Puget Sound. Then you have the problem with getting water. Currently the Washington State Supreme Court ruled on water rights, and what's required in order to put in ...
Unless the timber is merchantable, don't buy fully treed land unless that's what your homestead plan calls for. If you want pastures for critters, easy fencing, gardens, orchards, house/barn sites, etc, trees get in the way and are lots of labor to remove.
