Well, it looks like we will be moving the farm to another location. There have been lots of benefits to living on the ranch with Grandpa, but we are all ready for a little more personal space. J and I have been looking for a place over the past few months and I think we have found it.
This home is unique for many reasons. The biggest reason is that it is completely off-grid. Let me say that again so that it sinks in. It is completely off-grid. The entire place is run on solar power. There is no power company we could attach to, even if we wanted. The water is brought in by truck and stored in a cistern. All garbage must be dealt with on-site or brought into town. There are five miles of dirt road between us and "the grid." It's pretty cool.
For some, the idea of living in a house like this seems impossible. For us, it is merely a tweak in our already homesteader lifestyle. Yes, we would be further away from town. Yes, we would need to change some of the ways that we do things. But it wouldn't be hard for us to adapt. In fact, it would be fun.
We are going to meet with the owners soon to discuss purchase options. Hopefully we can come to an agreement and get this adventure started.
