Then have a look at the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Country stability is excellent, - it is a very peaceful country. Land is cheap (all negotiable), the environment is ... well "paradise". (that is if ya don't mind a monkey knocking on the door in the morning to say "Hi!). Many US and Canadian folks have moved there. The cost of living is a joke - the government ask that you have an income of $1000 a month*g* - they reckon that is enough to live on and yes, you could live on that, but a few 1000 more makes the world of difference. It is warm.. temperatures are usually in 90's, but can hit over 100 in mid summer.

Generally, Costa Rica has many faces. Within 30 minutes, we can be in "Switzerland" - this area is so close in appearance to Switzerland you'd not know the difference, - log cabins (kinda substantial and luxurious one's!), and temperatures to match.
Within 45 mins we can be in the middle of dense rainforest with lots of wildlife.

Currently, least in that area, net connections are OK, but could be better. Next year it is promised there will be cable available throughout the country.

I have seen lots of land available.. most recent was 77 acres next to a preservation area (national park) for asking price $120K.

The downside as far as your brief goes, is the language is mainly Spanish, but some folks speak English.
