I lived in the Northeast Kingdom in northern Vermont in the late 70s. Lived in a small town named Albany, close to Barton, 20 miles from the city of Newport and the Canadian border and Lake Memphremagog. At the time it was pretty wild and beautiful. Great hunting, trapping, fishing, - and the French Canadian girls were kind of interesting too. Outside the cities or towns you found mostly loggers, farmers, aging hippies, etc. I worked as a builder in the summer and worked a sugar woods in the spring. At the time, land was getting up around $500 an acre for large parcels. This, when similar land in New York State was going for $100 per acre. I moved to Central New York and bought a couple of hundred acres. Last year I took my wife up to where I used to live in Vermont and was shocked. I can't believe what's happened to that place. Green Mountains? More like Developed Mountains. Nothing wild about it anymore. Lots of woods has been clear-cut, new and huge houses all over,etc. etc. And land prices, as you said, high. Pay a lot more and get a lot less. I didn't see any Fisher-cats running around anymore.
Land here in Central New York, vicintiy of Cooperstown, Oneonta, Cobleskill, etc. is going around $1000 acre and up for large parcels - which is about double what is was 2 or 3 years ago. Small building lots, maybe $10 - $15,000 for five - ten acres.
