I'd need some grid stuff like wifi, and a/c. I want to pay everything in cash rather than a mortgage so something real cheap so I can live off my savings for a while.

I'm a pedantic cunt but if you're freelancing then you're not really off grid are you.
I've definitely thought about that kind of lifestyle though, many many times.

If it's viable, do it:
I live in a village of 1,300 and am having a go at it with my partner/wife; it's MUCH harder...
...The highs higher and the lows lower.
IF you can handle both good and growing days, then do it.

Has anyone fantasized about this? I think about taking my savings, and moving closer with nature. Buy some cheap little house, and just freelance.
