Do you love your home?
Sure, I guess. I like it a lot.
I designed it, I built it, and I have lived in it for 12 years.
... Just wondering. Is your home an affordable abode or the space of your dreams, which one are you?
It has been extremely affordable.
We bought two parcels of forest land, one for $350/acre and other for $900/acre with river frontage.
I bought a steel building 'kit' that I assembled myself, it is a 2400 sq ft airplane hanger, that I modified a lot. We have radiant heated flooring, we heat with a combination of firewood and solar-thermal. Our home is on solar-power. All total our home and acreage has cost me about $150k. Our property taxes run $800/year.
We have 150 acres of dense forest, so no neighbors, just peace, and wildlife.
... Being a rather frugal type of site (natural for early retirees of course) I would expect most people's homes to be rather affordable. Just wondering really
That makes sense.
