I am looking to buy a big patch of land (hundreds or thousands of acres) somewhere in the world. Ideally it would be in a stable country, although it does not need to be a first world country.

Can any of you advise which countries have large amounts of land for sale at relatively cheap prices?

And do you know of any good websites which advertise land at local prices rather than "rich foreigner" prices?

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

How much per acre do you think is a relatively cheap price ?

Good, that at least narrows it down from places like the moon or other galaxies.

Have you looked at places like China, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada?

Does it need to be for anything specific, for agricultural purposes or forestry. It would make a big difference to the price of land. Forestry land will tend to be cheaper then agricultural.

It would be mainly for forestry, with a small bit of farming (both crops and livestock), and if possible, permission to build a house (or an existing house).

€100? (Obviously this would be in a poorish country...)

I would prefer if people with anger issues don't reply, thanks.
 
You could probably buy Leitrim and Roscommon for that sort of money and they are bound to try and trick you into taking Longford aswell on a 3 for 2 type deal. Also you won't need to build any houses as they are 1000's unoccupied up there already.
 
Im sure you could buy grade 'A' ag land in Romania for around 500 Euro/hectare at the moment (stuff they were looking for 800 -1200 Euro/hectare a year or two ago).

An added advantage is that, since Romania is in the EU, you'd get 80Euro/hectare per year for doing nothing with it. There are also all sorts of subsidies and structural funds available to anyone wanting to develop a farming business.

I looked at doing this in very great detail 2 years ago. I still want to do it but given the recession I lost my job, started my own business and now all my spare cash is sucked into developing the new enterprise.

I even had an irish guy with huge experience convinced to come out and manage a dairy herd for me! How things change!

Hopefully I'll get around to it again in the next couple of years.

Good luck with your dream.
