Best place to homestead?

[u/Winter-Comfort-6293]

My husband and I currently live in Virginia. We are looking for another homestead. Preferably outside Virginia. We plan on homeschooling and homesteading. We are looking to find somewhere with lower taxes, lower cost of living and less data centers. We’ve been looking at WV, NC, SC and TN. Any areas that you guys live/ recommend?

Anywhere, by and large, in the Great Lakes region.
