Where do you live that 200k gets you enough land to grow your own food? Mine was £230k and all I can realistically grow a years supply of in a year is a few types of herbs.
Easy enough. Every country has an area where nobody wants to live. On the side of a mountain, hours away from the next city, maybe on an old garbage tip or an old industrial chemical spill. In Eastern Europe you might even find a cheap piece of land in a mine field. Should be possible.
I really don’t recommend to grow your food on an old garbage pit or an old industrial chemical spill or zone, just in case someone was going to take this seriously.
There isn’t really any unowned land left in England. Some patches that are abandoned perhaps but its not exactly publicised as someone would probably take it if it was well known that there was free land somewhere.
I’m sure there are better offers similar to the ones I gave above for other countries, but for some reason UK real estate sites are really hard to navigate, at least for me.
I’m sure if you include North Wales and Northern Scotland in the search you’d find some plots of land that are close to free.
Tbh I would rather a patch of woodland and stick up a cabin, but you normally won’t have permission to live on your land and if you do then it usually costs a lot more.
LOL. I started out with a little wooded land, cut trees, cleared it, bought a $1,200 well used mobile home and now have a nice home with three gardens. Buy small and grow.
That’s nice, now I only need 200k so I can buy a house with a backyard so I can make my own groceries.
Have you tried giving up avocado toast?

Free not, but there’s really cheap land.
I quickly had a look and for example in Burgenland, Austria there’s a 1100m² building plot for €50k.
It’s far away from anything resembling civilization, but it is land that is buyable.
I found a similar one in Györ-Moson-Sopron in Hungary, with 3000m² for €16k.
You can find similarly priced plots of land all over Europe. Just not anywhere where anyone wants to live.
Edit: sorry, misread England as Europe, my bad. Looking up examples for England.
Edit again: For the £200k that we were talking about before, you can have this nice 6000m² plot of land complete with an old barn: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/70879656/

Or just buy pots, you’d be surprised how much can grow out of just a few
