I have my sights on 5-6 acres with small house and barn. A couple of cows, a few chickens, a garden and we can live just fine.
We are blessed to have 8 acres, paid for, with a pond. The soil is lousy and we’re too old to be much good as farmers but I do think I’m retiring - less money for abortion funding. I will do a bit of this and that in my new county but we’ll live on social security and our modest retirement funds until hopefully we get an inheritance from the remaining parental unit. So gearing up to sell the town home and a rental or two (of course they will be taxed all over the place) and retire. Yup. Sounds good to me.

Until ALL the tax men come for you. Followed by the Dept. of Ag., the Dept. of Homeland Security, the BATFE, the FBI, the Regulators, Code Enforcement, Mainstream Media, etc...
Anyone else considering a fortified community? Maybe several hundred acres, armed patrols, even secession on a micro (rather than macro) scale?...Hey, I’m just thinking out loud...
