No. Your property is part of a state. Per the Constitution only a state can request to secede the union.
Even then this is difficult.
The U.S. Constitution does not expressly recognize or deny a right of secession. Accordingly, the argument for a right of unilateral secession begins (and pretty much ends) with a claim about the very nature of the Constitution.
That document, by the terms of its Article VII, only obtained legal force through the ratification by nine states, and then only in the states so ratifying it. Because the Constitution derived its initial force from the voluntary act of consent by the sovereign states, secessionists argued, a state could voluntarily and unilaterally withdraw its consent from the Union.
In this view, the Constitution is a kind of multilateral treaty, which derives its legal effect from the consent of the sovereign parties to it. Just as sovereign nations can withdraw from a treaty, so too can the sovereign states withdraw from the Union.

It was done by some people that took over an old military gun platform off the coast of England. If you're talking land within a country, no you can't. Furthermore if you're American and say move to Austrailia, you will be paying American taxes for a period of 10 years. And they will charge you as well as seize bank accounts should you fail to file and pay. Neither will it matter should you renounce American citizenship.

Can't you buy a piece of land in Dubai right now that is shaped like a country? I think Richard Branson bought the UK? If you bought some of that property its already shaped like a country its kind of like your own country...right? If you didn't pay taxes in your country how well do you think you would deal with the nation's outcry over public health care? Good Luck Mr. President, Sir!

No because it is not really your property. Try not paying your taxes, dealing drugs from your house or break a federal law and find out just how much your property is not yours but the federal governments.

You can make your property in its own society, which involves calculating its standard deviation at the exact time of its low and high tide resolution.. After forming a remark of its property value, you can simplify it by its H&R Block trade value and multiply its core elements with its minority strength..Hope this is helpful, cause that's how much sense your question makes to me..!!

Actually, you can. However you'll probably be missing out on one CRITICAL piece -- getting the US (or any other government) to recognize it as a soverign nation. The only thing that makes a nation soverign is the recognition of that status by OTHER nations.

Assuming you did: you'd pay no taxes, have no army, no police, firemen or hospitals. You'd also would be an illegal alien outside your property! Hope you are ready to be self-sufficient.

Making an own country is easy but recognition by the international community is tedious.

What a great idea. However, I have a feeling you would not even have as much success as the southern states did in their effort to succeed.
