How doable is it to live in a cottage in the middle of nowhere? What are the best and cheapest options in Europe? It's just an idea but I am thinking of gathering money over my life time to buy some cheap cottage, maybe somewhere in the alps, and going off grid as much as I can. As long as it's not SHTF it would probably be good to also have internet connection maybe to work from home so as to have some income or general practical stuff to have some connection to the society. What are the things I should consider?
maladaptive daydreaming man, we need you! the thread, it's been posted again!!!!
I am just thinking out loud but I am serious about considering living out my last days as a hermit.
well, lurk for about a week and you'll see about 27 fricking threads on this very topic.
the true answer is, it's not going to happen. the best you can hope for is to buy some rural land somewhere and build a house. you'll never be a 'real' hermit, you'll never disconnect from society.
no man is an island, and just the way property taxes and such work means you'll always need an income.
further, as conditions continue to deteriorate socially worldwide, being outside of surveillance and government nannying will become literally illegal.
>What are the best and cheapest options in Europe?
All jokes and anti-larper larpers calling people larpers aside, look at real estate in Gorlovka and Donetsk when the Russian/Ukrainian war ends. I was there before the war started and houses on an acre of land withing walking distance to grocery stores and the seaside cost around $400USD. Now you could probably walk in and squat in a place for free without a visa. The locals are all fluent in french and have a pretty good grasp of english as a result of the soviet school system that nobody talks about so you don't even have to learn weird-slang-russian
>seaside cost around $400USD
really? $400
>lurk for about a week and you'll see about 27 fricking threads on this very topic
>it's not going to happen
Maybe not for you as some armchair-posting burger. Some of us live in exciting shitholes where it's an actual option. Try going on a real estate site and search for the cheapest obvious crack dens in your area, then compare them to places with the same number of bedrooms/bathrooms and parking spaces in places like Haiti or Samoa. Try Jakarta in Indonesia
to be fair anon, i answered OP's question, buy some rural land and build a house.
frick, it's what i did. 7 acres of forest, 35 miles from town, adjacent to thousands of acres of BLM forest
it's still doable, for now.
but in the next few years or decades i think you'll see a serious clamp down from state/local gov't on blocking builds like mine.
the environmentalists HATE people (in general), but more so when they impinge on nature.
government HATE people not living in a hive outside of their surveillance and nannying.
and rural gentrification is going to make what little stock there is beyond the reach of the middle class.
but good point, he could go be an expat somewhere. how safe is that though? like, does a westerner in those types of places draw unwanted attention?
>and just the way property taxes and such work means you'll always need an income.
in most european countries if you own only one property you don't have to pay any real estate tax
That's a massive IF considering how fricked eurozone is now.
Thankyou citizen!
>How do I minecraft in real life? thread #<ERROR: integer overrun>
Here we go again!
I am asking a real question. How am I running away from reality? I just want to have a nice remote place to live in and be more independent. I obviously plan to make money and work in a society before and after I achieve that. So, again, how the frick does that pic apply to me?
Thank you for your service.
Shut the frick up homosexual, you will literally never do this. I dare you to stick to this board for a few days and see your same exact thread posted every single day.
In other words, you can't answer my question or give advice because you are all larpers and this board is a circle jerk for city dwelling bugmen losers who consume and argue about gear online and leave their apartments once a month to go camping. Got it.
>gib runnaway to the woods instructions!
>you are all Larperss for not jerking my fantasy boner!!1
I don't want to run away to the woods, can't you read? I am just thinking about how possible is it and what are the prices and options. If this seems like a fantasy to you then you are the larper.
You are literally a city dwelling bugman larping that you're going to "run away to the woods". You won't.
Give me a quote where I mentioned "running away to the woods". I will wait. Inb4 you can't because I never did.
>"How doable is it to live on a cottage in the middle of nowhere?"
>in the middle of nowhere
Translates to a remote location but not specifically the woods. It depends how you define it. Do you call a bunch of trees in the radius of a 10 minute walk the woods? I am not going Robinson. I am just thinking about options for a remote place close to nature and bit distant from the first neighbour.
Then your question makes no sense because it's obviously possible and easy, just look on real estate websites for whatever country for large plots of land. If you're not going super remote you could even have modern infrastructure. My 200 acres has fiber internet, and I'm in the USA where our internet is notoriously shit.
>posting this always instead of being PrepHole
You're no better
>still seething
lol.
I'm not that anon. Keep "moderating" the board 🙂
>I-I-I'm not s-s-seething! you are!!111
smooth.
Give him another five days and he will have a rebuttal for this. He will probably post another thread like this too.
You aren't a mod, you're just a loser.
Look up a channel on youtube called "Mossy Bottom", it's about self-sustained living in rural Ireland
Just do it OP don't listen to these gays, just pack up and do it. If it dies it dies YOLO it, post progress later
In Europe or North America?
No fricking chance.
Try the other hemisphere.
Or get a boat and try the middle of the fricking ocean.
It's honestly not that hard in North America. There's plenty of dirt cheap massive plots of land (if you're not a west coast cuck).
Is Russia still giving away free land in Siberia to foreigners?
so i heard. but then you have to live in russia.
Some parts of siberia are so PrepHole I guess nobody even knows who lives there.
>a hactre of land after you've been using it for five years
so do i get the land to use before or what
will russia give me a visa for this
In europe? Shit man with all the migrants taking up the rental market and giving the upper crust the money they've been buying up all the smaller places with giga rent money too. Europe is a variety of different problems depending. They will never leave you alone there no matter what. Even easterns are going the way of the dodo. Czechs are cool. IDK. But the population density rules it out even on a well funded good day. Hell depending on what you want to do you might be regulated out of being allowed. Old nations don't have young pioneers. You need to go to places with poor basic safety once you leave the reach of social arms.
USA. Northern Canada. Some parts of Aftrica. Australia is a big one for Euros. Siberia is you're willing to lose all chance of foreign income atm. I'd say Canada so you can access the USA by far. The thing is most of the places that are good for this don't have internet so that's a pipe dream. Do you have at least 150k USD saved? That will make it a lot easier.

Kek, you're fricked.
If you are sufficiently wealthy and can pay people to drop off all the necessities in regular intervals, then yeah.
Otherwise, no.
idk but I too dream of living in Walt Longmire's house.
noice
Some villages in Italy (and maybe also in Ticino) sell houses for 1 euro. Only condition is that you move there and stay for a decade or so.
Otherwise, check out Italian alps. You get houses there for 30k.
Just be aware that life is *hard*. There is a reason people don't want to live there anymore.
i agree with this guy
i bought a house and 3 acres worth of lots in a dying canadian village for 14k
im the village roustabout
i do odd jobs for 15 bucks an hour under the table. and i work on local farms for 25
theres tons of work because everyone is old
i buy food direct from farmers, its super cheap
if i tried to buy the same house, but on an acreage, it would cost me hundreds of thousands
because you need a well, power, septic field, a road, probably a shop, its expensive
I have a cabin inna woods on the edge of no where. Its not off the grid but it is very comfy.
does look comfy
Where?
northern rockies
>What are the things I should consider?
its costs more than you think it will.
This for example is 400k in Slovenia...
Moral of the story? You have to get rich first.. These locations are worth alot.. And this in Alps.
I am looking for the same thing as you.
https://www.nepremicnine.net/oglasi-prodaja/zgornje-jezersko-hisa_6530293/
400k is what they're going to charge your foreigner arse, yeah.
But in reality, paying a penny more than that is worth would hurt when the reality sets in; "I'm in the middle of nowhere, I don't speak the language, it costs a fortune to get anything delivered here, and I'm so tired of walking up this giant hill every time I go out".
Fat American detected.
>in the middle of nowhere?
define that. How far from town? Nieghbors?

Forestanon lives an awesome and insane life. When you think about it he's captured things on video most people never will
>What are the things I should consider?
Securing your property while you're away should be your #1 concern unless you plan to be there 24/7/365
I bought a weekend cabin/cottage last year and it has already been broken into TWICE. This weekend, I'll be setting up trail cams and a barking dog alarm on the property
You live on the east coast, don't you.
No, I'm not a coastie
ugh owning multiple homes should be illegal
people shouldn't be allowed to own cabins or cottages?
jesus anon, even your commie heroes would give party members dachas for goodboy rewards.
zoomers are literally the worst generation and when they reach majority, the word will crumble under their pathetic nihilism and entitlement.
I fired someone because I saw the little c**t typing shit like this on his iphone about 2 years ago. Was a good time.YHZXD
You will never own property
>gonna get up trail cams and barking dog alarm
anon theyre still going to break in, they know nobody is ever there. not like a trail cam will stop tweakers and a fake dog sound DEFINITELY wont. i suggest burning it down to salvage any decency from the surrounding land.
Fricking this
What you need is booby traps.
Brother I'm in the same situation. I have some money in the bank after being fired and I'm thinking of building a cottage in some family land I have access to.
