Are you looking in Allamakee or Clayton County at all? You want house + acres? Yes we are looking there also. We want something close to a town that has a grocery store. We'd like to be within 5-10 miles from town with at least an acre so we can have a large garden.

If I could get a shed house built for $200,000 I think that'd be the end of my questions and I'd be asking where I sign. One thing not said here....is how hard it is to find a small acreage these days. In some of the ag country you need to have 20 to 40 acres to put a house on it. And in the best ag areas...that land may be worth 10,000 / acre. Adds up fast. Down by my FIL's ag land is going for all of $10K an acre. That'd be the "family and friend" price I think. In my township, you need 40 acres to build a house. I'd guess there is some way around it ($$$) but I'm not sure.

It usually happens when two large producers are bidding on it. Not common, but it has happened.
