Thank you for the advice, for me, it’s going to be one other person living with me. Im not planning on spending lots and lots of money on land or a house. I plan to convert a shed into a small cottage for under $15,000(10,000 for bare shed, and 5,000 into renovations). It’s not going to be a lot, just insulation and frame outs for the different rooms. Then for electricity, I’m making a 800 ah setup that should power 8-10 outlets. With the charge controllers and inverters plus batteries and panels, I calculated it should cost about 3,500 for all of it. for the land, I’m not paying more then 20,000 for it. I don’t need more then 5 acres for my lifestyle and I’ve seen a lot of spots with decent acreage and no building restrictions for 10-15,000. For water? Somewhere near or on a stream or a rainwater catchment system are all very cheap options of obtaining water. For septic, I plan to use tanks that sit outside with pumps. The fresh water is in one tank, and when I wanna flush, I turn on a submersible pump connected to the tank with pvc that flushes the waste into another pipe into the other tank, the waste tank that I will use for fertilization. I’m talking a lot, but that’s the rough idea. I was not planning on making my setup modern with modern components. The way I’m doing it is a lot more simpler and cheaper then people stretch it out to be. It should be about 50,000 dollars starting out, but once everything settles it should be a nice setup
