We are a couple from the Germany and are wanting to live a more simple and calm life. We are looking at countries where we can move relatively easily with a EU pasport. Our idea is to start a homestead/hostel/community/family. One of us has a Masters degree. But we are really not interested in working an official job. Ideally, we would like to live in Tasmania or New Zealand, but for such countries one needs to have a job offer and work fulltime. For us this is not an option. We have worked the last years to save up & now it is time to retreat a bit. A few hectares would be ideal (and we can build a simple house), or an older house with at least 5000-10.000 m2.
These are factors we consider per country:
-Relatively easy visa process
-Max. 30.000 EUR for a piece of land or house with some land.
-Temperate climate
-Not too much pollution and chemtrails
-A safe and stable country. Preferably no stream of immigrants.
-Climate change influence...?
-Enough rain and sun (for gardening & solar energy).
-Not too many rules and regulations. (for instance, forcing kids to go to school or get vaccinations etc).
Considering these factors, which of these countries could you recommend (or not)?
Or maybe tips for other countries/regions?
-Bulgaria
-Slovakia
-Czech
-Ukraine (hills, north west)
-Poland (hills, south)
-Baltic country
-Finland
-Northern Spain
-Central Portugal
-Azores
-Mexico
-Chile
-Ecuador
-Brazil
-Paraguay
-Costa Rica
-Philippines
-Thailand
Definitely AZORES (PORTUGAL) but not São Miguel, because PICO (second largest island) has better views of the other two nearby islands and real estate is cheaper. You can buy a house on PICO (needs work) for 20000€ and you can by land for as little as 500€ per hectare if you are willing to collect stones and work on it. When you are on Pico then let's meet. Pico has climate between 10C and 30C which is very mild cool-tropical climate and you can grow anything year round. There is no freezing and no hot weather in the Azores and the lowest it can get within lower elevations is 10C. Now if you climb the peak of the Pico mountain, it can get some snow in winter, but no one lives beyond 200m above sea level in the Azores. The Pico mountain is 2300 m tall.
I can give you a separate apartment for 150€ a month if you pay the extra electricity that you may use and usually basic electricity and water is included in the 150€, but you must buy your own gas for water heating and cooking which may cost you another 20€ per month. If you want a TV, cable, DSL, interenet, you arrange the local company and pay to them directly as those are not included in this cheap rent. The apartment is a stunning natural stone basement apartment.
