Call me prejudice, but I would look at Colorado. You can purchase a lot of house with land in our great state. Colorado offers lots of out door activities for all ages. Our schools are great and you have the choice of private schools also.
Depending what you are specifically trying to accomplish, I would certainly take a peek. Let me know if I can be of additional assistance. Happy to talk with you, send you information, etc.
