If you are ready to pack up and head out on a new adventure, a move to Middle River, Minnesota might be just what you need.

Just last week I shared a story about the town of Middle River turning their old school into an AirBnB, and now they are making headlines once again for an initiative they started to get people to move there. According to the StarTribune:

The goose capital of Minnesota will award you seven-tenths of an acre inside its city limits if you move there and build a house.

That's right: Zero down, zero interest and zero payments on a roomy 100-by-300-foot lot in Middle River.

The town is about four hours northwest of St. Cloud, and is located between the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge and Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area which makes it a great area for outdoorsmen, hunters, fishers, birdwatchers, and those who just like spending time with nature.

Free land isn't the only incentive that the city has to move there. The town's website shared a laundry list of freebies for building in Middle River.
