Rural and Remote Land for Sale

Advantages of Isolated Retreats:

• More room for gardening, pasturing, and for growing row crops.
• Lower house and land prices. (More for your money.)
• Better for a total wipeout “grid down” scenario when virtually everyone will be out of work.
• You can stock up in quantity with less fear of the watchful eyes of nosy neighbors.
• You can test fire and zero your guns at your own property.
• You can build with non-traditional architecture (earth sheltered, for example.)
• You can set up more elaborate antenna arrays–and other things that would look odd in town.
• Better sanitation in the event of a “grid down” situation.
• You can hunt on your own land.
• A place to cut your own firewood.
• You can keep livestock.
• You can make ballistic and anti-vehicular upgrades.
• A “dog run” chain link fence around your house won’t look too out of place.
• Virtually unlimited fuel storage. (Consult your county and State laws before ordering large gas, diesel, heating oil, and propane fuel tanks.)
• Much lower risk of communicable diseases. Particularly important in the event of a biological warfare attack—but only if the bug is spread person-to-person rather than airborne.

Disadvantages of Isolated Retreats:

• Probably impossible for just one family to defend.
• Cannot depend on much help from neighbors or law enforcement if your home is attacked by looters or in the event of fire. You will likely be entirely on your own to resolve those situations.
• Isolation from day-to-day commerce.
• A longer commute to your “day job”, shopping, and church.
