Fuzzy bears!
Can't have ocean? Mountains and winter snow will suffice! Found a lot of small cabins and some manufactured homes as well, but its too hard to get a loan on a manufactured. Which is why we need an owner carry. That, not so easy to find. Plus we have to factor in space rent, the payment on the home, and utilities.
But..I'll keep huntin'!
I don't know if it would interest you or be a viable option, but apparently there is a university that has a program where they attempt to come up with a very low cost home, based on materials used and building techniques. It's called the 20k project, they are trying to build homes for a town in Alabama.

Just something to look at, I believe there are other similar projects if you can find them.
