I soooo was not thinking about moving from this house to realise our dream of living a sustainable lifestyle. I was talking with my mum over the weekend and she floated the idea of buying a 10 acre plot of land and putting two houses on it for us all (I didn't know this was my mums dream as well!?).
So why did hubby need to be sitting in one of his customer's smoko rooms this morning having coffee and talking about our dreams when someone overheard him and said that he had the exact property for sale! It would fit within our existing budget and expenses if we went 50/50 with my parents, and it's within 10mins of where we live now and only a few minutes from a township.
For 12yrs the property has been growing fruit and vegetables organically, has multiple worm farms (and the worm pee has been used to fertilise the land), has a blackberry border which the guy makes wine from (a winery to go with it), renovated 100 yr old house, a stream, chook house, paddocks that he leases out for grazing stock, rears beef and sheep for their own use (no dairy though)....ahhhhh....maybe we'll do a drive-by over the weekend. Then I might speak to my mum again....then I might just dream some more....arghhhhhh.....
Right! Back to reading Permaculture Home Garden in the meantime and plan out my own little slice of the good life.
