[QUOTE="katya02, post: 565258, member: 2884"] Also you'll need to figure out how to manage water, sewage, practical stuff like that ... so getting land first sounds like a good idea. You'd have security as well - no chance of having to move your house on wheels at short notice. I'm going to be looking for something similar, depending on where I end up. Maybe Alaska! Maybe northern Ontario! Maybe the Olympic Peninsula! Wherever, I want a small, energy-efficient house that ideally I'll design myself (I designed our house back in Muskoka, years ago - passive solar, energy efficient etc.). I want a wood stove, loom with a view, room for books. Unfortunately building is expensive - have to research economical ways to do it. Anyway ... I would keep an eye out for promising areas, keep an eye on the real estate market, and be ready to snap up a good piece of land when you see it. If you've kept track and know what the local market is, you'll be able to grab a good deal. [/QUOTE]
