[quote:Windsage nli 75920561:MV8zNjkzODk0XzY2MjQ5MTcyXzE2MkVDRTMz] [quote:Epic Beard Guy:MV8zNjkzODk0XzY2MjQxNDM4XzUxRTgwODJE] [quote:Windsage:MV8zNjkzODk0XzY2MjQxMzY5XzVFRDdEQTdC] I'm still trying to understand your original premise. Are you saying "Don't buy near Federal lands" or "Don't buy Federal land"? Your first sentence is kind of vaguely worded. I recently bought a property in northern Idaho that is near hundreds of square miles of Federal and State wilderness, but I own the house and land outright. Are you saying this is unwise? Can you be more detailed about what the problem is or could be? I am surrounded by mountains, timber, wildlife, rivers and streams, and self sufficient neighbors, 12 minutes from hospital, six minutes from supermarket. I looked for four years for just the right spot. So I am very interested in what you have to say; I just can't figure out what your warning is. [/quote] You can't buy federal land, you lease it, usually for 99 years. Buying next to federal land is a great idea, you wont have close neighbors. Most federal lands are reserved for nature and no building is allowed. [/quote] Thanks for the clarification. [/quote]

Those looking for remote areas to live need to consider federal lands in mostly western states and Conservation Easements a government takeover in eastern states that block you from using your land to meet your requirements.
In either case, the land is not yours you are simply paying to be bullied by the government and the land can be taken away at any whim contrived by the government.
Choose wisely after much research it took us several years to find the perfect land to build our retirement home.
