As noted above it depends on where it is and what might happen as time goes on. I live on an 80 piece of farm ground and woods and have only one house I can see from mine. Hunting is good but my house is smack in the middle of the ground and if I were building it today it would be on the edge closer to the county road. Less snow to plow and the less disturbed the balance of the land is the better.
Don't buy a place with a bridge or a creek unless when the creek floods you can still get out.
The advice to buy as much land as you can afford is good.
