>>334027property is stupid cheap at auction right now, i paid $18k for 35 acres (21 are wooded, 11 are openpasture, 3 are grass) with a creek running through it, a barn and a 12x60 trailer in good working order. it has some pretty cool old outbuildings on it too (an old stillhouse that still has mason jars and a still base in it and the remnants of an 1800's smoke house)
i live in the southwestern part of the state (somerset county to be exact) and a family of four can live comfortably on $16-$17 an hour wages. rent on a 3 bedroom farm house with a few acres is ~500/mo and you wont have nighbors for a few miles. also the amish markets are god tier for fresh food
>stay out of pittsburgh, philly, harrisburg and erie and youll be in nice country side
