Hi all, i’ve been looking at off grid homestead style locations for a while now, preferably just to own something and if SHTF well you have somewhere to go obviously. As you all know..
The problem I see is the drought, obviously i don’t want to buy anything where nothing grows, and there’s no water and i’ll die of dehydration. So that rules out a lot of stuff west of Sydney.
I want to spend around 150k total, over a bit of time obviously, around 60k on land preferably and the rest building a simple small off grid house. I am a tradie with 2 trades so i can do a lot of the work myself. My only problem is choosing a good location where i will be actually able to grow vegetables and other things.
I’m not looking for heaps of land, 2-5 acres i would be happy with, but the more the better
Curious as to what you guys think regarding location, as obviously i’ll have to work on it on weekends so it can’t really be 9hrs away from syd.
