If you don’t mind living in the middle of nowhere, and you live in the US, save up for a mobile home. You can get a used one dirt cheap, (<$10,000 in most of the middle of the country,) and it will be perfectly functional. Look up land that is still covered by the homestead act, put the trailer on the closest available land. Fence off up to 500 acres, depending on jurisdiction, and improve the land for five years. Apply for a deed from the Federal Government. Enjoy your free land. Make sure you survey the land, not all of it is actually desirable.
Edit: bonus if the land is forested. Get a chainsaw sawmill and build “additions” to your mobile home until the mobile home is no longer needed, and you have a house. Also clear at least 300 feet from your house in case of forest fires.
