Good day folks,
We are originally from India and living in Canada since 2000. The pleasure-travel bug hit us about four years ago and we have visited a few American, Caribbean and European countries.
Now we have begun dreaming of a place that we can call our second home during Canadian winter. We target to find a place for post 2018 for the winter living. Important to mention here that we are gravitating towards minimalist lifestyle and have keen interest in permaculture.
Although bound to change over time, these are what, we think, our criteria for our second home should be:
Climate
- Winter daily average high temperatures range from 15 to 20 degrees Centigrade (60 to 65 F)
- Able to grow vegetables outdoor year around
Topography
- On a height of a mountain but less than hour from warm beaches
Budget
- Cost of land below $50,000 CAD and, minimum 3 acres and up to 5 acres of land(less than 90,000 CAD if any minimalist structure available to live in it)
- $ 800 or CAD or less for a round trip airfare from Toronto (understood that the airfare will be inflated higher in future)
- Yearly property tax about $500 or less
- Monthly minimalist living expenses about $1500 CAD
Other
- Reasonably safe area with an established expat community
- Abundant horse riding area around
- Real Estate ownership laws foreigner friendly
Hoping to have a dialogue with some of you like minded folks and share our journey.
Cheers,
Pall
