Go down to your town clerk and get a copy of your land-use regulations and a zoning map. Have the clerk show you exactly what zone your property is in. Then read the regs that pertain to you.

I doubt any state law in the USA has anything to say about it. In fact, I doubt many counties do either. It's usually a matter of your town's land-use and/or zoning regulations - and what part of the zoning map you are in.

Also, most areas have the ability to grant variances for "non-conforuming" uses.

I live in four-zone town. My farm is in the "rural-agricultural" zone. To have any new house, there must be X amount of road-frontage and X amount of squaure-footage of land dedicated to the house. If I wanted to build a bunch of houses not near the road, I'd be required to build a road going to the new house and deed a permanent easement for the drive to the house. So technically I can built a mess of houses if I want - until I build so many it gets classified as a "cluster development." Then they were stop me.
