ToddW,

You could also check out Northern Maine (Aroostook County) for some opportunities for large parcels of land. I was stationed up there in the '80s and loved it. Go to http://www.mainerec.com/realty.asp?Category=6&PageNum=6 for a list of the realty companies. It is a little out of the way. However, since the state university system has several campuses you may have access to satisfactory Internet since they need to be supported in the tech-age.

There is ample bear, deer, moose, grouse, rabbit, and fish to be had up there....


Standard disclaimer.....

Good prices. But, it's in TakesAss

Found my dream home in Eastern PA. Only a few acres but look what's in the back yard!

Only problem is my wife is not crazy about living in the woods. On top of a hill with wide open fields for miles is ok with her, though.

Sorry, picture a bit blurred. What's in the backyard?

A big honkin' mountain. Part of the Kittatinnies, which is what passes for a mountain around here anyway. The Appalachian Trail passes by about 1/2 mile beyond the ridge.

Very nice!

That would be a cool spot for sure
