Well, you could try here.(Atlanta metro.) There are a couple trail areas 
(official) like some state parks, Kennnasaw mt. Conyers Horse park. Pay  is 
pretty good in some metro countys for teachers (or some private schools). 
Weather is pretty good.(we do have some  Florida days , hot humid in July 
/Aug.) > Course Atlanta is a huge growing spider. I ride out my back door, 
but don't know how long that will be here (subdiv growing at huge rate.The 
traffic isn't fun, but year round riding.And if it ices or snows (bout every 
other year, everyone leaves work early, buys bread and stays home. )
  Lots of ,"you can kinda do what ya what attitude. Especially if 'further 
out".  I have seen one snake  in about 3 years riding.It was a  gopher 
snake.
  Land can be had from 1,500-2500 (near the farming areas to 5000-15,000 in 
outer metro areas. I bought my land for about 3500$ acre 8 yrs. ago , now 
the tax collecters tell me it's worth 10,000 acre and it has power lines on 
it. (only 5 acres).
Cost of living is pretty good here. Some of the lowest gas prices in 
country, housing , near national norm.(YOu can still buy a new  small house 
under 85,000. Of course the further 'out ' you go ,the cheaper andything is.
ga. has 5 irdes I think a yer, near enough to Fl to dirive in a day. All of 
Tenn, Ky, S> C and some of Nc. are within a days drive.
   We don't have hurricanes! (we rarely get some of their rain 
though,)Southerners are nice, they talk to you in the grocery line :}
