I am assuming that you will pass the land ownership title to these people?

No family can live off 5 acres, especially if you also need to get firewood off there.

For future generations the 5 acres would not be enough.

What would prevent you from taking advantage of their labour

And even though many parts of Mexico look remote--there's no place where you will not have people hiking or herding across your land. Maybe you are unawares, but hundreds of thousands of people continue to trek north across Mexico saying off the main roads for the most part. And Mexico experienced remote schooling for nearly two full years, so in order to support rural children, they have increased the number of cell towers ten fold since March of 2020. There used to be large swaths of Mexico with no cell reception. Now, if you can't get a signal you usually only have to walk several yards until you do.

So you should cross number 2 off your list.




Thank you.
I found out yesterday that weapons are insanely expensive in Mexico and that it is difficult to obtain them (only 1 shop, apparantly).

I am not sure if you are correct that they are illegal, there are many sources claiming differenty.

Spain and Paraguay are left, and always were my top options. Mexico was solely based climate+overstay penalties, it wasn't exactly my first option anyway.

FYI: I will not respond to messages on this forum from now on, as mentioned email only and only in case that you can provide what I need, and need what I can provide.

Hello all,


Maybe one of you can offer one of the following options, and there is someone who needs my help.



1) Land located in the South of Spain available for 1 year trial

2) Land located in the South of Spain, with additional land surrounding my land where I will grow food for 1-4 persons who cannot physically do this work. These persons will also finance the purchase of a male and female donkey, solar power system and other small items, all together approx. 5.000 euro

2) Land located in Mexico, including airline ticket, paperwork, purchase of weapons, fund for medical expenses, 100 euro per month, with additional land surrounding my land where I will grow food for 1-4 persons who cannot physically do this work. These persons will also finance the purchase of a male and female donkey, solar power system and other small items, all together approx. 5.000 euro

3) Land located in Paraguay, including payment of residencia, without need to get mRNA vaccine, airline ticket, purchase of weapons if legally possible, fund for medical expenses, 100 euro per month, with additional land surrounding my land where I will grow food for 1-4 persons who cannot physically do this work. These persons will also finance the purchase of a male and female donkey, solar power system and other small items, all together approx. 5.000 euro


I live by myself in isolation and only speak when needed. Meaning if you dislike the rules that people like the Amish or Mennonites have: They have nothing on my way of life, with is very specific.

This means, that all work needed from me I should be able to do by myself, I would drop off cultivated food for example at the fence at a specific time.

I do not grow foods which I deem to be unhealthy for human consumption, like grains, nor cultivate food for people who consume alcohol, smoke or use drugs.

Other work which I can do is installing off grid power systems, painting, water harvesting landscapes.
When it comes to eco houses for others, I can make designs and organize materials, after which a crew would have to come in and built it. I can observe and correct this process on a daily basis, but not supervise it.


I see that there are various capitalist projects which received free land from religious organizations for example.
I see no need to explain here what I do for humanity/what charity projects I do, because I am not looking to be bowed down at.

Simply put, if you have land, and have no use for it and/or need my help. It is welcome.



Requirements:
- At least 10.000 m2 of land, of which at least 3.000 m2 should be fully south-facing and private, meaning not visible for people hiking or neighbors, and fenced in. Available for the rest of my life

- Clean air

- Clean water, from a year-round private water source, ideally at least spring water, with at least 1.000 liters available per day, for watering the garden.

Please indicate of the capacity of the water tank and/or balsa

- Area with most of the time blue skies, not clouds, and around 400-600 mm of rainfall per year falling over a minimum amount of months

Despite several individuals including a woman who does not live there - promoting buying a "cheap" house in Bulgaria or Hungary,

I strongly advise against it.

Like I put in a post a long time ago on here, in Bulgaria there are many real estate scams and shady real estate agents.


Even more so, this person advised Bulgaria over Portugal, which is a joke:

In Bulgaria, you will need a lot of insulation, firewood. Living in a country that freezes over winter also means a short growing season.

This is only adviseable to those who are penniless and without long-term plans.

Think before you go to the east.  Keep your eyes open and do not leave your brain at home.

It was my plan all along to visit the country but then covid-19 popped up, and I couldn't travel and now I dont have the time at the moment . But thanks for your very kind offer Peter. Do you know if it usually is hard to track down the owners of abandoned properties where you are?



I am a bit late to respond, and this was not my post, however this ie exactly what a mayor offered me.
They tend to put "posters" on abandoned properties also.
