Any suggestions appreciated

Would prefer acreage but you can try to convince me to live in town. :-)

If you want acreage and 4 good seasons, Middle west New Mexico, south of Albuquerque. Email me If you want more info

New Mexico has the best weather if you like seasons but none that are too extreme --summers are warm but not hot or muggy, in winter you can always find snow in the mountains and sometimes the deserts too and it's very affordable, Las Cruces is nice if you like bigger cities but there are many nice small towns too.

Hill Country in South Central Texas. Marble Falls/Burnet/Johnson City. The filet mignon of Texas.

I would recommend a place where the homosexual agenda and abortion agenda are considered the acceptable social norms; where there is still an objective difference between right and wrong; where Boy Scouts are still revered; where adultery and divorce are still understood to be harmful to the family; where the traditional family is not the oddball household. If you find that place, please let me know and I will go there myself.

Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, near New Market!

North East Alabama which is close to Huntsville, Chattanooga , TN Central Tennessee, Georgia and Atlanta Yet it is rural with Low taxes inexpensive land. Affordable housing and is growing industry wise. We have a lot of water and very good fishing in the Tennessee river. We also have 4 seasons but the winter is not severe. Summer is not sultry hot like around the coast.

I was just thinking ahead to my retirement (still a long way away) so I dug up this thread. I'm going to be looking for 20+ acres to put a retirement home on. Lots of room for the dogs to run.

Not Arizona, try New Mexico. Unless you can displace a liberal!

hehehehe

(we have enough people now.)

I wouldnt be too quick to exclude Washington state. No state income tax, and pretty decent cost of living on the eastern side. Hot summers, usually mild winters, and good people for the most part. Good hunting and fishing all over the state too...JFK

Check out Charlotte County Florida - rated by Money Magazine as the best place to live - 4 years in a row.

Low crime, no income taxes, homestead exemption, affordable real estate, conservative population.

It's on the west coast between Sarasota and Naples.

You can still buy a salt water front home (park your boat at your dock) for under $200,000. Boat right from your home into the open ocean.

If you want a few acres, you can find farms for under $125,000 (but beware of the gators!).

For more about Charlotte County see http://www.sw-fl-homes.com/charlotte_county.htm

We live here, took the boat out the islands today . . .

Great Florida weather, but no tourists or theme parks here.

So, where did you move to? This thread is still going. I just got pinged with a comment today--and you posted back in '01. Weird. So, again, did you ?

[DeathfromBelow]

Try realtor.com You pick, Depends of what besides acreage you are looking for. Prior to Y2K, an isolated Ozark getaway with backup generators, free running spring, and caves was the thing. You can find most anything you want.

All the coolest live in Crawford, TX

Certainly Prescott AZ has lots of supporters.

And plenty of smaller places in southern NM are attractive to many--or up around Taos.

Cottonwood AZ is growing rapidly.

But I wouldn't recommend the USA, frankly.

North Central MTN states USA have some good targets in war as are Albuquerque, Los Alamos and White Sands NM.

I think East of the Mississippi will be much worse in part due to population densities. The natural disasters slated for the Mississippi valley don't sound at all attractive.

The masses of Mexicans and Chinese slated to come across the Mexican border don't make the Southwest seem overly safe to me--but that's were I am--NW NEW MEXICO.

I suppose Northern Utah's rural areas have some attraction but then there's the noise about the super Volcano which is Yellowstone Park.

Some have suggested the rural mountains of Australia. Australians would best speak to that. Water may well be a problem everwhere--especially in the arid US Southwest.

Colorado has some great war targets as well as the hideous stuff rumored to be beneath the huge new Denver airport. The murals there are hideous enough with their symbols and messages in sync with the global government tyranny's goals.

There's a sparsely habited place north of the Grand Canyon but South of the Utah border that has been a haven for some renegades from society for at least a century. But if Hoover dam is bombed, it could be uncomfortable.

Personally, I don't think ther's a place on the planet to run to. The arms of God is the only safe place from here on out, it seems to me. And He can put us through some interesting fiery furnaces as part of our boot camp training. AT least He promised to be with us wherever we are and to take those who Love Him to be with Him eternally.

I think the Andes of Argentina and Chile will likely have some safe haven areas for some significant chunks of time. But then there are plenty of volcanoes and quake prone areas there.

I think Thailand given their affinity for peace will likely have some extra grace from God for significant chunks of time. On the other hand, the immorality in terms of sexual junk and some lingering drug junk could be a hazard. And the southern parts are Moslem.

NZ Southern island could have a few spots that would be attractive though not as warm as that quake prone, volcano ridden North island.

Wish I had better ideas.

Have you considered Mars [joke--though some claim we've had a colony there for a long time]?

Colorado was the best kept secret! Pleasant summers, mild winters. We make the news when their is a big storm. Expect to shovel up to 10 times a year. This year - twice (once because I wanted the exercise, I knew it would melt the next day).

The best deal on land is in the SW mountains. Alamosa area. It is in a basin and a great community. If you are wanting to be a little closer to civilization, then maybe Loveland. Housing and land will cost your more. Colorado is a conservative state (other than Boulder).

Colorado really could be called the sunshine state. In Denver you can golf all year round except when snow is on the ground. Last year there were 20 days, year before 28, and this year only 16 days where you could NOT golf. (I work with someone who golfs 4x per week, and he counts the days each year).
