Is it possible to find an ocean front plot of land for building a house under 150K?

Where should one look?

Thanks,

Or... Haiti?

Boy...I doubt it.

If you DID, it would be seriously screwed up....like maybe adjacent to a fish **** processor.

I've never really understood why anyone wants to live on the ocean front.......but then again my dream home sits in the badlands of Western North Dakota/Eastern Montana.

Now if I could only convince my wife it's really not that cold in the winter time.LOL

You can find gulf access lots in our area for that price, hop in the boat, and hit the beach.

in this locale, 10 years ago, under $200k bought a ready-to-build 1 acre-plus on the bluff with a deed that went to median high-tide.

but, today's depressed prices are only 5x that...

Not in Delaware or Maryland.

Nevada, wait for California to fall in.

Last time I was on the Big Island of Hawaii, I looked at real estate prices in Hilo. Can't recall the exact pricing, but it was far cheaper than I expected. Then again, you'd experience nearly 20 feet of rain in an average year, and the houses I peeked at were in both a lava zone and a tsunami zone.

I can certainly see the appeal of oceanfront. Being on or near water was part of my upbringing and I am still drawn to it.

I would much rather have a place on a salty river or lagoon though.......with a short boat ride to the ocean.

Look as far away from any metropolitan area as possible.

Kodiak Alaska......Now I could live there,absolutely gorgeous and NO surfpunks.

^Stay away from scalable mountains in Alaska if you don't like surf-punks.

"Xtreme Sport-punks" are just as bad.

In Alaska, we spent a few nights hanging around Talkeetna waiting for weather to clear so we could fly up the mountain. Most of the time was spent opening and closing the bar.

I met some pretty CRAZY dudes there.......shaved head mohawk types who live under someone else's cot and wait for the next thrill seekers to commission them to take them somehwere so they can do something stupid with skis, snowboards, etc.

East Coast Central florida. I ilve in Daytona land is cheap now. Still raw land available.

^yep......Still nice lots in Brevard Co. too.......but not oceanfront.

rutro: Do you of specific location I can look at?

Look into the Salton Sea in California, good luck.

Oceanfront property, they just aren't making it anymore.

all of Volusia and Flagler Counties have some bare land avialable on the oceanfront. Very reasonable right now. Do a search for Dayotna Beach. We had three hurricanes come through here in 2004 wiped out lots of oceanfront property. the property owners took the insurance money and left the raw land. Then many of them sold the land and there was supposed to be many new condo's and hotels. Didn't happen because of the current economy.
