My wife and I bought 5 acres in Carthage Maine. It was rural enough to drive
down the cost of living whilst being close to wilderness.

My suggestion, as far as living structures in this predominately cold climate,
would be a pit house. There is some very good step-by-step construction at the

Hope this helps,
