Working all your life and retiring to a life of country living may seem like a dream for most people. Of course, an ideal situation is having a house on land that can be used for various purposes. The one thing that many people often find difficult is finding that property. Don’t be disheartened, you can live the life you want. Keep reading to learn how beneficial country living can be.
The cost of property will probably be the biggest obstacle. This is due to the popularity of an area and an assortment of other factors. Distance from the city is also something to take into account as the most affordable land will be found in more rural areas. Most affordable property is at least an hour or so away from a town or city that is your target area.
There are many financial benefits to living on a larger property. You will have the option to grow food, either in a garden or just “out in the yard.” You’ll also be able to obtain a variety of animals that will help support you. If you have your own food, then you can live the life you want without some (or all) of the cost that is associated with having to buy groceries.
Even after saving enough money to buy your property, or for a down payment, you will need extra money, as there will always be some unexpected costs. While these costs may vary from needing some fencing or putting a new roof on a building, the costs are just generally higher as many tradespeople may not want to travel to rural areas to complete your needed repairs. It’s a great opportunity for you to learn a bunch of new skills!
Sacrifice will be necessary to live the life you want. Homesteading will require keeping a basic schedule for the collection of eggs, milking cows, or goats, and dong other necessary chores. It won’t be long before you don’t think of these things so much as chores as they are the satisfying tasks that allow you to live the life you want away from the rush and craziness of the city.
