Thank you, that somehow nails it. Some countries on our to-be-checked-list are in Latin America. A personal minus is, that both of us don't speak spanish or portugese.
Nevertheless we will dig deeper. Thanks for your opinion.
Check the city of Pomerode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomerode
That checks everything you want: cheap land/houses, low taxes, mild winters and hot summers. Amazing beaches at 1h driving. Small city where you can connect with people in the neighbourhood.
Negative: very far from Germany. It will take you 1 day to travel (1h flying to São Paulo + 12hs to Europe, plus the waiting time and going to the airport)
Most brazilans, even from these states, would give a kidney to live in Canada or Germany. Even if only for living a safer place where you can walk at night with your phone etc.

That said, I read OPs complaints about polarization and taxes, and I wonder if Latin America might address some of these issues?
(Slightly tongue in cheek)
Your status as a foreigner will make people more forgiving of your ignorance of local political issues, and also interested when you make comparisons to foreign perspectives (especially coming from Europe, which they consider the model of civilization).
Tax evasion is a way of life here, you could declare as little or as much as you like of your foreign income, which combined with the lower cost of living, would mean you could put away a sizable portion of your monthly income.
The quality of life may surprise you in some aspects, provided you are willing to think strategically about your lifestyle, ie where you will work / shop, play and with whom. The food can also be excellent, with a greater abundance of fresh produce, which in Europe often tends to be optimized to withstand prolonged shipping and storage, as well as limited volume/higher price.
And when you eventually decide you have had enough, because the conditions can be trying (constant horror stories about violent home invasions, rife inflation, far fewer accessible /and/ safe getaway destinations, and not being able to consistently get a decent flat white) you can return and declare your savings as foreign income tax free.
