 That is one of the great things about St. Louis. We have places for small scale homesteading less than an hour from the city. And even closer to the suburbs.
Not saying you will get 10 acres. But an acre or two can produce a lot.

 would love to hear about some of those areas for home and land searches if you are willing to share!

 So many factors depending on what you are looking for.

We just saw an 80 acre tract get divided into 4 parcels of 20, 2 of them open pasture. They went at auction for ~$150,000. I think the 20 acres with house and other buildings went for $250,000.

This was about an hour from almost everything in St. Louis. 25 minutes from Festus.
