We are looking at buying land -- somewhere -- in the next 2-3 years, and building a home or series of small structures on it.

I heard about this new homestead act and would like to find out what areas are included...

anyone?

Hadn't heard of this but it sounds interesting. :)

I did a search and found this - I think it's the actual bill:
