i'm not sure where you're going with this, but even small rural towns will have regulations about building a dwelling to live in without amenities such as plumbing and heating..

Plus, it's still Massachusetts, so you're going to have to pay a ton of money for the land, so the privilege of even building a tar paper shack is going to cost you a small fortune.

It might be cheaper to live on a boat.

Not in New England. Dockage / mooring fees are charged by the length of the boat (and can include or not - electricity and pump outs). Not many first come first served public mooring / sea camping areas along national waterways at this time of year.

Besides local zoning, there are usually deed restrictions which makes things harder because even if you do find the right municipality you still have to research each parcel. Also real estate agents are fucking useless for this info - you have to do it yourself.
