I have dreamed of this lifestyle for over 20 years, and just moved here a few months ago.
Septic is installed, we live in an RV. Just got this land leveled and ready to move the RV into place next to the storage containers we have. Right across the driveway will be a large garden area, but right now we only have a compost pile so far.
A neighbor said they will help us with chickens, so we only need some fence and feed. Things move slowly, but we are excited to jump into this lifestyle. Fresh air and beautiful views.

What do u do for a living
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
What do you do for water?
Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Currently getting water from a purification machine at the store, it’s expensive but we use very little right now. (42 cents per gallon)
We just got a 2,500 gallon tank, after I finish the plumbing I plan to order water delivery, should be about $200 to fill the tank. (Less than 1 cent per gallon)
After that I’m making a roof and collecting rain water. (Free water)

I live in this. I pay 500€ rent, in one of Europe’s most densely populated areas. I commute to work by bicycle, and I can take walks into the forest with my cats till we get too close to the Alpaka Farm, cause they’re afraid of the alpakas.
Unfortunately, we’re getting thrown out this year, and looking at 3x the rent for something worse which is further away.BonoboPower@lemm.ee 2 hours ago
Where in Europe’s densest areas can you rent anything for 500€?
superkret@feddit.org 1 hour ago
Nowhere if the stars don’t align.
I live in Heidelberg, Germany.
This house is worth 3-4x more.
But my landlady is a little special. She lives in a hippie commune in another country, is dealing with depression and simply didn’t want to deal with the house at all.
So that was the deal, we could live there for cheap, I fix stuff myself and never bother her with anything.ECB@feddit.org 2 hours ago
Unfortunately you cant, that’s why they are getting thrown out and looking at paying 1500€ soon

It’s so rare you can have cats who will walk with you. I used to have one like that.

small bungalow
proceeds to list a 5 rooms house

Just a small bungalow with its own private gym.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
If you’ve got two bedrooms and only need one then having a gym in the other one isn’t a luxury. Hell, is less of a luxury than using it as a spare bedroom that is useless except for storage and getting visitors a few times a year.
stetech@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Do bungalows typically have basements?
jaybone@lemmy.zip 23 hours ago
Usually it’s the other way around.
“This spacious 400sqft condo features scenic fire escapes and running water…”
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Which is a small bungalow…
Ours is 850 sq ft and we’ve got 3 bedrooms, so if we removed one we would be at 750 sq ft and rearrange the divisions and it could be smaller.
Post war housing built by the Canadian government was 600 to 800 sq ft bungalows with two or three bedrooms, 70s bungalows around here are 850 to 1150 sq ft with three or four bedrooms…
makyo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s basically a two bedroom bungalow, that’s not that crazy to imagine is it?
TheFerrango@lemmings.world 20 hours ago
Maybe it’s just my mental idea of a bungalow that equates it to a slightly larger wooden tent.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 23 hours ago
That’s what we used to have before landlords convinced you to live your whole life in somebody else’s spare room.
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
My first house was an 800 sq ft cottage - smaller than most apartments. The bedrooms could only fit a Full bed, not a Queen. It had the same number of rooms OP listed and was the perfect size for me. I’m not familiar with a “bungalow” but that’s what I’m imagining.

Bought 5 acres (with 1.5 of those acres flat on a hill) about ~20 min outside a medium city, ~1 hour equidistant from 2 very large cities. Geotechnical engineers have been to the property, report submitted to the county (took months). Sewage engineers have been out to the property and approved the drain field (took weeks). Well will be drilled once the county approves the build site. It’s slow going but it will be worth it in the end! My only fear is trump cancelling the rural broadband fund as I am slated to get the fiber cable run to my property line within a year. Staying with starlink for longer will not be awesome, but oh well, sacrifice.

What counts as a big garden, I would like bigger but my bungalow is on a 150m² total property area, 60m² of that is the indoor area. Spent quite a bit to have the concrete paved across the entire garden removed and I did all the labour myself with a sledgehammer. IIRC it was 8m³ of that crap.
Now mine is the only house on the street that you can see real bees at. My “lawn is untidy”? Fuck off, that is a meadow and it is glorious! As I am British there is no HOA for you to cry to. I am free to make the bees happy.
Unless it gets to the point I am blocking out the sun to the houses nearby there is fuck all anyone can do about my garden.

I bought bee flower seeds, its a pretty large container (think half a Pringles can). I just sprinkle them around in my neighborhood. 😁. Can’t wait for the day weird flowers are starting to popup everywhere.

I love it! Bonus points if it turns to a big in the winter, so I can collect potion ingredients.

Anon accidently envisions a solarpunk-esque lifestyle

what’s solar punk?
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 20 hours ago
Like steampunk, but instead of steam, it’s solar.

So I’m longer in the tooth now nearing 50. Got 3 kids. My intention when my kids finish high school is to go back to the small towns from whence I came. City living is so goddamn expensive now. I can buy 50 acres for slightly more than what I pay for a 30*150 lot with a semi-detached home.
I’m gonna Christopher Robin my life when I nope out of IT and with luck build houses for my kids and build a homestead.
This is the way folks. Protect you and yours the best you can.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
Do it now. Land doesn’t go down in price unfortunately.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 21 hours ago
I would if it were not for the complexity of child support I don’t want to do my ex dirty like that. I’m ready to shift careers but that will mean a major pay cut

Anon about to find out economies of scale. That garden isn’t enough to feed him year-round.

I want a house with a walled courtyard/atrium between the house and garage. I also want an underground space like a hobbit hole crossed with a bomb shelter.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day ago
I want either a Swiss Family Robinson style treehouse or a spaceship.
espentan@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I’ll get the house, you the spaceship and we swap every other year or so?
Noobnarski@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Its basically what I have except that I have rented the other room to a friend of mine.

The problem with living on the edge of the countryside is that eventually somebody else builds on the countryside part and you’re just living in another crappy suburb.
oce@jlai.lu 5 hours ago
Exactly, this mindset just creates more suburbs, roads, cars, unwalkable districts, etc.

Houses with gardens are immoral, you should either commit to being a farmer, or live in a flat if you’ve got any sense.
Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 22 hours ago
My advice in that case is to immediately plant some trees around the perimeter of your property and turn it into a little isolated grove
gorgeousd@r.nf 21 hours ago
A man grove, with a man cave.
