I nearly went to general chat with this one but I think it fits the bill in this forum.

I am contemplating selling my current property and moving to a "very" rural property. I am wondering if anyone has done exactly this and what pitfalls they have found along the way ?

The property is on 45 acres with solar power only and tank water, so it will be self sufficient living to a degree.......I am just pondering what pitfalls I will find when i get there that is different to living in the suburbs.

Obviously off grid solar only will be a challenge. Mobile Broadband works surprisingly well without an external antenna.

Interested to hear from anyone thats done similar and what improvements they felt they had to make.
