How little do you think you can spend on land thats good for hunting

[Phantom]

My cousin got me thinking about this. He wants to buy a small parcel of land backed by state land or something similar, but he doesn’t want to spend much money. How little do you think he can get away with and still have some good hunting land?

All depends on the area. Downstate, alot more than upstate.

I know he doesn't want to spend more than like 40 to 60k I mean he'd like to get away with 10K if that's possible I don't think that's possible though anymore for land around here in New York state . Point being he doesn't want to spend much money on it.

10k is going to by a postage stamp.  

Again, it depends on the area.  Some areas you might get 2-5 acres, others $60k isn't going to by the land the mailbox is on.

Like Central New York Finger Lakes Region Chenango County around there or Catskills he said he like to  buy  if its good . 

Yeah but some of those postage stamps wind up being the best places sometimes.

Lots of search engines you can play with the filters and find out quickly. Here's a head start below- took me 19 seconds. There's 81 properties in NY for sale that are between $5K and $60K and over 10 acres. I sorted it by acreage highest to lowest.

The key is he wants it to border state land.  That's going to be harder to find.

in zillow he can put in "state land" as a keyword and that will narrow it down

Is that what you used Zillow to find those? 

Actually I just had a thought  should ask my friend down in Georgia he's in a real estate business he may know some other  tricks to find deals out there .

But the thing is he wants it to  border state land so basically he can hunt the whole mountain behind his lot.

Buildable lots near state land are hard to come by in my neck of the woods. They’re either steep or expensive. I lucked out on mine, right place, right time and had cash. I’d be surprised if it’s cheaper south of here. 

[IM Hooked]

Probably around 2k to 3k acre in central NY depending on how much is wooded. Usually smaller parcels are more per acre.

[Bolt Action]

There might be some opportunity up north where the per acre price is reasonable. I'm thinking north of Watertown. Malone, governeur area.. I know there are plenty of Amish up that way,  and not sure on deer density.. but if he's price driven, it might be worth a look.

I’m not even really tech savvy. I’m sure there’s an easy way to have AI search whatever parameters you want
