You might look at some of the self-sufficient modes of liven on you tube...since the economic tumble of 2008, a lot of people have found themselves without a home and have gotten pretty resourceful. I saw one that didn't own property, so he converted a u-haul box truck into an rv, but kept the exterior looking like a plain old business type box truck. He was able to reside in urban areas without being noticed and bothered.
I did my little apartment because I was tired of taking care of so much property and wanted to slow my life down and re group. After a year and a half I came to realize I needed to change my location, but didn't want to give up my farm, so I just rented everything out I could and relocated 2000 miles away. I have family keeping an eye on my place and I use the money from rent to pay for my current living quarters which I rent.
The thing about the farm property is it's a quiet, peaceful place, it's got space for livestock and growing edibles, it's in an area that's economical to live in, but not many good jobs left for me.
The world is a tough place sometimes...good to be flexible. The best thing I believe to do is spend a lot of time thinking about what makes you feel content, then figure out a way you can make it happen. Things change in your life and it's easy to get stuck and depressed. Better to be driving your ship than feeling trapped without hope.
