Homestead

I have sold my house, and am now revealing my 10-year homesteading plan towards my dreamhouse and retirement.Updated 1 month ago

Home:

Background:

Living in town is nice, but a mortgage -- and therefor tenants and a roommate in close quarters is not ideal.
So what if I cash-out my house, buy a large property, and build a house (without a mortgage)? Then slowly build more suites + out buildings, and rent them out. Eventually living off their income.
I have had this idea for 5+ years now, constantly refining it.
Then I saw the beautiful 5-acre lots in Goldstream Heights and their incredible views!
After falling in love with various lots, and seeing them sell and slip away, I knew I had to make this happen.
I have sold Tattersal, and have an accepted-offer on a big piece of heaven.
I understand this is a HUGE project, commitment, and risk. But I love working for myself, and really like a large project to focus on.
I hope it is a gathering place I can share with my friends and family, just a few minutes from Victoria.

Why:

I was able to sell my house for a great price. And I hadn't had tenants in years, so it seemed wasteful.
I have maximized the amount of rental income, and things I can realistically put on my tiny city-lot.
I have proven I can build nearly-every part of a house, and enjoy doing.
I want to do this when I am young.
I was never as happy as when I was building my house.
I was in my best physical health (strong) when building my homes.
I love having a large project to focus my time on.
I can't have even 10-person parties on Tattersall, due to tenants and neighbours.
If I pull this off, I will never have to work another "regular" job again.
