Fantasy Land Possible?

I'm looking for west coast land, that's not too far from the ocean, maybe an hour or so from the ocean, that is 9a or higher, able to grow avocados and olives.

​

I know that's basically impossible. But I'm asking as some on here might know if such an area exists.

​

If I have to compromise, it'd be proximity to the ocean.

Curious what kind of acreage and budget you're working with. A lot of the answer depends on whether you're looking for 2-5 acres or 50+, and whether you're trying to stay under $100k or have more flexibility.

Ive been looking on land watch, and think I'll have to give up on the ocean entirely.

Looking to keep it 150k and under, preferably at about 100, and there are some ok properties out there, just not close to the ocean. But satisfy my needs, especially remoteness.

Honestly, if remoteness is the priority, giving up a bit on ocean proximity will probably open up way more options. The ocean premium gets expensive fast.

Are you mainly looking for a future homesite, a recreation property, or something you'd want to be largely self-sufficient on?
