Buying a piece of land and living on it with your own little community. Have you heard of someone actually doing this?
So I'm turning 31 soon and I have been thinking about my far future lately.
I haven't managed to partner up so far, and it's likely that I never will. (It always one sided attraction I guess)
Right now I live in a bigger city and I am pretty happy here. I like going out and have many opportunities to pursue my hobbies.
I have made many friends here and built a pretty good support system.
But I can't help but feel that this is temporary. People move on and most of the people I spend my time with now won't be here in the long term.
And I don't think that I want to live the same way In my 40s or 50s as I do now.
Since I grew up on a farm in a very rural place. I moved away from there because our home life was terrible and our parents didn't treat us well. But I really miss that part of me. I think after middle age I would really like to live that way again. Not on a commercial farm. But having my own plot of land I can work on and plant my own food, have animals.
One Problem, I am a pretty extraverted person. I wouldn't want to do this on my own. Living so far away from people, without a partner I'd get very lonely.
In my fantasy I'd find other people who also never quite managed to go the traditional route. And we just start our own little "family" together. Have our own little projects and take care of each other.
I just would like some way to live interdependently in a community. I think I'd actually struggle a little to live somewhere with just a partner.
I have heard people talk about this stuff from time to time. But I don't think they that serious about this.
But I mean it.
And it has started to become less of an impossible dream.
Since my father has passed I have recieved an inheritance. (It's not an insane amount but more than I could have ever gathered through my job). I had assumed I was disowned to be honest and never recieved or accepted much help from my parents anyway. But now I would actually have the means to one day make something like this happen.
I guess my question is: have you ever heard of someone living in an arragement like this?
I want to gather inspiration on this and eventually start looking for people who might be interested in this sort of thing.
Thank you!
