Is it possible to build something like this with just $100k?
>>3005525sure if you dont mind the occasional tornado
>>3005525Absolutely!Step one, buy land no one fucking wants.Step two, wonder why your nearest neighbor is 7 miles away and you smell meth every time the wind blows in such a way that you are down wind.Step three, marry or be a paramedic, because if you ever hurt yourself, you'll want someone who can keep you alive long enough to travel 65 miles over bad roads to the nearest hospital.Step four, realize that you will have zero services. No power, water, sewer, natural gas, not even Amazon will deliver to you.Step five, plan for every time you needing something requires a trip into town. That will be a weekly, maybe monthly event.
>>3005543Even then, maybe if you buy an existing house in such a situation. But if you have to build one the materials and more importantly the delivery of said materials and of the equipment you need to build will cost over 100k. Also this is a stupid question so put it in the general next time.>herbs in the options
>>3005543>step onemigrate to >>>/out/OP will feel right at home
>>3005525You can buy the land and build the chicken coop, get the terrain cleaned, maybe also the pigsty if you are good at /diy/.
>>3005543>Step one, buy land no one fucking wants.is there really such a thing?>Step two, wonder why your nearest neighbor is 7 miles away and you smell meth every time the wind blows in such a way that you are down wind.Good I hate people>Step three, marry or be a paramedic, because if you ever hurt yourself, you'll want someone who can keep you alive long enough to travel 65 miles over bad roads to the nearest hospital.I don't go to the doctor or hospital as it is and am ok with dying when the times comes.>Step four, realize that you will have zero services. No power, water, sewer, natural gas, not even Amazon will deliver to you.well for water, outhouse, Starlink for internet, solar panels, propane tank>Step five, plan for every time you needing something requires a trip into town. That will be a weekly, maybe monthly event.Driving an hour or two to CostCo once or twice a month isn't that bad
>>3005543honestly doesnt sound that bad
>>3005677Yeah. It is called the Oklahoma panhandle. Oh, and that bit in Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil>Good I hate peopleIt is an interesting thing. I've lived in the boons and I've lived stacked like wood. Both suck. I now live in a nice smaller city, on a 1/4th acre lot and it is fucking perfect. I have good windows so I almost never have any noise, I don't lock my doors, everyone knows the names of everyone else's dogs, there's a school in walking distance (no pedophiles!), grocery stores too, services, etc. 'People' suck but good people are great.>I don't go to the doctor or hospital as it is and am ok with dying when the times comes.I've told the story here before so someone might remember but, when I was a younger man my brother and I tried to replace the sheet metal roof on a monitor barn. The nails holding the roof to the joists failed and their heads sheared off. We slid off like riding a surfboard and he got super fucked up in the fall. He landed on metal scraps and I landed on him. He was poked full of holes, had a rack of broken ribs, and was bleeding all over. Of course, the rest of the family was in town in the only vehicles that could go more than 25 miles per hour so Wonder Dust and duct tape held him together until we could get him checked out. If he had broken his back or punctured a lung that would have been fucking it but it would have taken a long, long time to die and it would have hurt the whole time. On a full working farm? Fuck son. I've had neighbors die because a fucking pig decided it didn't like the look you gave it that day and they just couldn't stop the bleeding. Bleeding out in the passenger seat of a F-150 as your wife is driving it 200 miles to the nearest anything ain't a way I want to go.>Driving an hour or two to CostCo once or twice a month isn't that badAh, see that is the thing. If a CostCo is only two hours away you are not in the boons. Try it when the nearest paved road is 2 hours a way.
>>3005525Not even with an Amish community behind you.
>>3005704>Ah, see that is the thing. If a CostCo is only two hours away you are not in the boons. Try it when the nearest paved road is 2 hours a way.I see a bunch on that map in the midwest and north where you are in bumfuck nowhere in less than an hour
>>3005910> in less than an hourOn what, a jet? The whole deal with being in bumfuck nowhere is that there is NOTHING anywhere near you. It is REMOTE. If you are an hour from somewhere you aren't in bumfuck nowhere. That's 75 miles at highway speeds. That isn't even far enough to get out of the light pollution of a decent sized city. 75 fucking miles. I know people that commute to work a longer distance than that.
>>3005677>>3005543why bother buying just squat somewhere that's like this
>>3005704>Try it when the nearest paved road is 2 hours a way.Is there even anywhere left in the continental US left that is that far from a road?
>>3005936>75 fucking miles. I know people that commute to work a longer distance than that.I used to do that in North Dakota. Most of my coworkers drove about the same distance I did.
>>3006952No, he's jusr exaggerating like some faggot.
>>3005525Yes. Please explain what is stopping you, not having $100k maybe?
>>3005525>$100k?Maybe 20 years ago
>>3005525You can have this in my third world country for free if you're white and turn your wife's family into serfs.
>>300921730 minutes on a dirt road just to get to my cabin when it's dry. I don't even consider it that remote. I mean we have neighbors less than 5 minutes away. We usually hunker down when it storms, but if there was a medical emergency, it could easily take 2 hours strapped on the back of sled to get out.Also, OP is a faggot for thinking that money will buy a functional homestead.
>>3009339So 30 minutes away from a paved road then. Got it.
>>3005525all these "you need to be at least 100 miles from the nearest person" people are retarded. also the OP image is retarded because pig shit fucking stinks to hell. double down on chickens or learn to cook goat.i am kinda doing this but the way i am doing it is going to be over $100k.get cheap land, you can get land in poor areas (please see appalachia, land can still be had here for $5k/acre)>5 acres = $25kcan you build your own house? where i am at you only need two permits, septic and well. i got around this by digging an outhouse and using a cistern, the other bonus to appalachia is there are springs everywhere. you can build a down and dirty DIY 25'x25' one room cabin with cheap metal siding for ~$15k if you do ALL the work.>cabin $15knext come appliances, i am a really good carpenter but i am no electrician and would love to know how to do solar, but getting a generator, solar panels, batteries, charge controller, and then converting it to AC power to put it bluntly i do not know where to start. so i am doing propane and a gas generator and wood stove and using electricity as little as possible. so just for a number>power generation and appliances $20k ($5k woodstove, $2k propane range, $2.5k propane fridge, $5k generator, $5.5k hooking it all up and getting rudimentary cabinets) maybe someone who knows solar can call me an idiot and point me to one of the often referenced temu sourced solar setups that everyone seems to lovenow you have only spent $60k, the other $40k is going to be getting mountain land cleared and ready for you to build on. i recommend hiring someone, i bought a used machine and it's great but it has also been expensive to keep running. if you can't do a cistern for your water, budget $20k for a well. i would also tack on 25% for extras so budget $125k if you think you can do it for $100k. I build houses for a living, do not buy someone else's problem, fixing a fuckup is more expensive than starting fresh.
>>3009554>do not buy someone else's problem, fixing a fuckup is more expensive than starting freshCan confirm. I had to buy a house on short notice. Nothing here was built in an orthodox or optimal fashion. It's been tedious.
>>3005525Im giving this a go right now. So far its been.115000 for 35 acres in the part of the state with jobs.im about 80k in for a septic, well, power, 6" insulated slab, and an ancient but servicable mobile home. Anything better would increase my costs so dramatically that the work to pay the debt would make this whole thing pointless.
>>3009628On our current project our customer bought a house without consulting us first, put a new roof on it and then when we started electrical/HVAC/drywall it turned out all the trusses were structurally compromised by termites and their realtor didn't get them a proper inspection. 450k remodel went to 750k just like that.
>>3009663Not all of that is the trusses, probably 100k for the truss repair from the inside of the house, but it's really impossible to know what you are getting into until you open up a wall or get into the attic and crawlspace. Walls were bad to, and it isn't just replacing the wall, it's all new electric and plumbing etc.
>>3009663What state? When I was in Louisiana, termite inspections(wood destroying insects, technically) were required by law before closing. I figured most regions that had them would require something similar.
>>3009670Florida
>>3009645my brother did this, put a 10k driveway on a $70k piece of land but then couldn't afford the $800+k to build the home he wants.
