Get the advice of a realtor in the area you want to live.
What search criteria are you using, have you tried finding something you like in another state and then use the same search criteria?
When I wanted a flat rural farmette situation in Nebraska it took a while of searching.

I will share here whatever I find out and my experience. I was looking for a small parcel in the southwest when I was vandwelling and boondocking there. Was looking to start with an RV or shed-to-home. I changed my mind about settling out there but I have general stored up knowledge. I'm still in the market but here in FL instead. Just moved into a senior apartment so won't be looking to move soon but I'll always be saving and searching for my little piece of land.
Don't know what part of FL you are seeking but so far, the most affordable parcels I've seen are in the Interlachen and Hawthorne areas. Have you looked at the websites/Youtube channels of any land sellers? Landio is a good one. Here's the YT channel and the website link is in the description. Use the magnifying glass to the right to search for the states you're interested in. As I think of other sources I'll share here. Good luck to you!

You might want to also consider lots with abandoned homes or houses that need lots of repair.
Around here as long as you keep a smidge of the house standing you will be grandfathered on a lot of things..
Utilities will most likely be existing. So you wont have to run power lines. There may be an existing well and septic.
This could save you $$ and aggravation since you wont need permits for new stuff. Also new builds have all kinds of stringent requirements like an aeration system instead of a septic. New builds have to conform to new rules.
