Southeast Missouri has some excellent bargains but you will need to be able to handle poverty pretty well.. Because if you don't bring it with you, you probably won't make it in this area.. Most jobs are still minimum wage so self-sufficiency would be a big plus.. There are opportunities don't get me wrong..but a very limited way of life would await you.. this is still the Ozarks and not alot has changed in the past 20 years..this is definitely country living at a basic level.. there are still people that have no indoor plumbing, heat with only wood, and still use wringer washing machines, but the land can be reasonably purchased and there is alot of owner financing available..alot of gravel roads.. not many people will sell under 10 acres..but homesteads can be found for less..just have to really look..can click on reality sites and explore the possibilities..alot of what you want is probably unlisted ..sure hope I haven't put a damper on your plans. It sounds quaint but can definitely be a struggle.
