I agree with Hick, Arkansas or Missouri. Yes, you get some stormy weather, but if you watch the national weather, almost every front that blows across the US dumps fresh water in those states. Here in NE Texas, we watch fronts miss us with the rainfall while Arkansas seems to get it all...along with some severe weather, the trade-off.
There are parts that have very low populations, and I believe the cost of living and land can be favorable.
Just my opinion. And they have four seasons, most years.
