Thanks @newenglandsavage. I honestly thought hard about NE coast but thought that it might actually be too expensive to get land there (being near New York etc). I always equated New Hampshire as being where the rich go for holidays? Too much TV?
When I'm able to catch games I'm a Patriots fan too :)
Yes land up here can certainly get a little pricey depending on where you way be looking. New Hampshire is not quite what you've seen in the movies haha, up here we call it the "south of the north", and it's actually a pretty awesome state to live an off-the-grid lifestyle as they have very few laws regarding rights to farm, water access, firearms, and much more. Just remember the states motto is "live free or die"!
Well, we're forming the plan. We're working towards buying the house we're renting as we get a discount on it, then we have to live here for 5 years or sell it back with the discount.
We're hoping to own it outright in those 5 years or as close to it as we can then take the plunge and buy some land :)
40 isn't too old to start homesteading right? :)
Absolutely not! Its never to late to live better!
