I have a middle class job in the South East USA. I'm not a SHTF survivalist. However, I think the same thing that happened in Russia in 1998 or Venezuela today, can happen here. I want a property and land that will be able to insulate me against a very bad economy.

How do I find 5-15ish acres to build or have the following:
-3 bd / 2 ba ~1500 sq ft house.
-Workshop + Garage
-Chicken / Quail / Turkey / and or Duck pens
-Pear, Apple, Plum orchards
-Garden space to grow Blueberry, blackberry,etc. bushes
-Garden space to grow misc vegetables.
-Small Catfish Pond
-Goats or sheep (~5-ish with small barn)

All the land I ever see for sale is either:
~$25,000 for 1 acre only for a double wide trailer or small house. This land has been sectioned off from the rest of the farm field bordering the road and is next door to other trailers or houses.
-or -
~$600,000 for 400-ish acres that are wooded and not even connected to a road.

There is nothing in the middle of these two options on zillow or other land for sale websites. I want to be able to plant trees all along my properties borders to where you cannot see any of it from the outside of the property. Also a driveway shaped like an 'L' or 'U' through the trees where you cannot see inside of the property that way. I basically don't want neighbors to complain at me that I didn't cut the grass or that my chickens make noise or something.


Also do you guys have any suggestions of additional stuff I'm not thinking about or should need.
