Hello, I live in the south of italy and I am having real troubles finding a proper home near my hometown, where me and my gf wants to be, despite being surrounded by countryside.
It seems like everything is either too expensive, or the house has some problems, or it’s a simple rustic which would be then very expensive to restore.
Everything has got too expensive and trying to do permaculture seems like something that only who’s rich and burgoise can do.
It’s not even that I don’t have a good job because I have a good salary and some spare money, despite that it has become too difficult.
Either the house is too close to a road with traffic and too expensive for what you get, or the land is too small. Most of the time the land is between 1.000mq and 3.000 mq when lucky, when I wanted just something like 3-4 hectares simply because I would love to integrate animals to restore the land and to have some extra milk/food.
I have found things like 1 hectare, but even that is too small for animals.
Since I want to produce for me and my family (even parents and brothers) I’d like to cultivate olives, figs, vegetables, and some animal products therefore I need more space.
I am just looking for a normal 100sqm house, nothing fancy. It seems impossible.
Sorry for the rant, I am not sure what I am asking for, maybe advices, maybe some understanding, or maybe ideas
