By large I mean by area, not [necessarily] density or weight. Preferably something that isn’t collapsable or capable of being easily disassembled. I want the delivery of the item to be a major pain in the ass.

Outside of the awesome ‘national parks’ answer from someone else, I would have to assume the best cost-to-surface-area purchase in the world would be really cheap land in the American West, Australian outback, Russian tundra, Canadian North, etc. Assuming it doesn’t have oil on it, some of those areas, land practically given away. Sometimes you can get governments to pay you to take it on and try to do something useful with it.
If you consider that ownership usually includes mineral rights for miles under the ground, this really starts to look like the obvious choice of your looking for volume, not just area.
How do you get this free or cheap land in the Canadian tundra, again?
You most likely don’t. You would have to talk to the territorial governments who then would have to talk to the indigenous land holders. And even then it’s a logistical nightmare where the sun sets for a month.
Also if it is Crown land also doesn’t mean that the government is actually looking to sell or develop the particular land even if it isn’t in a National park.
I didn’t say Canadian tundra, I say Canadian North.
Hers a listing in northern SK for $129k CAD that’s nearly 12k acres. That’s $10.75 CAD per acre. That’s pretty cheap in my book.

I’m sure there’s cheap land for sale, but that one is just a typo in the listing I’m pretty sure.
It’s a regular town lot surrounded by others.
Ha. Funny
You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude…Retracted.You were right, even if it was for the wrong reason.
The Zillow listing said acres where they presumably meant square feet which are a lot smaller. This is a city lot, probably less than even a single acre.
Did you miss the “k”?
Either I missed it or they added it.

That’s also just what I could find in 30 seconds on Zillow. Pretty sure you could get stuff even cheaper (no structures in property, for insurance) with a little effort
