Ready for a change

Hi! We live in a big city in FL and have for nearly 10 yrs now. We do have native family here.. but I have been so bored with FL living in the city. It is too populated here. What states would be best to buy land for a "home away from home"? (Can't move from FL due to jobs". I want somewhere that is warm or at the worst - mild winters... a lot of outdoor activities , open land... but not completely hours from the city..water nearby. Thus far I've looked at : Arizona Georgia Texas

Probably in that order from my research. GA would be easier for us to travel to. Any areas in these states that sound like maybe a good fit? I am a bit jealous of all the outdoorsmen with open space . Or maybe I'm just in the wrong city in FL..
