IJust to get any hatred out of the way. I live in the Kommunist Republik. I feel like I am on a red island in a blue sea being from back east. The only reason I am here is a woman.
We have a secluded 20A horse ranch in cattle country. Hot, dry, water and wildfire concerns.
With forward thinking, we have decided to purchase a 3 acre cute house and large workshop in a Rural Residential area 400 miles away. It had 85% of the infrastructure needed for our retired lives. Moving back closer to a town and trying to make it easier for either of us without the other.
2A for the ponies, 1 A for us to maintain. Cooler climate, not having to sunshade the garden, no water worries, lower wildfire risk, closer to towns were all factors
After a year of renting back to the former owner, I am starting outside work this month. Giving her more time for her house to be built, she is an asset against squatters to me.
Smoker/fire pit area, Garden shed and raised garden beds, dog runs. Rooms within the workshop for my wife’s cast iron restoration hobby and her new canning hobby and my preparedness room. Freeze dryer will be in the garage.
We have been preparing for a year. Smart buying at online auction sites @.25 on the $. Buying what we need now to do this before she retires and the income goes down. She will have a commercial grade room.
She is going to keep her License JIC, but no place in the area where she feels comfortable practicing at her level for support . So after 34 yrs she will retire to ride horses and hopefully redo all the cast iron she has bought
It’s a 1 1/2 to 2 yr plan now. I just got to build it. I am the bullwork guy.
I may be a prepper, but I am going to be building a homestead.
