My husband and I are going to look at a country property. It is a long-shot since we'll have to find alternate employment, but the mortgage is very cheap. It's 50 acres, house a converted barn, with another smallish barn on the property.
I've lived in the country before, but I am trying to think of everything I should remember to check out. What do people wish they had looked at before buying their country property?
Also, it has a dug well and I don't know what shape the septic is in. Has anyone else used alternates, like composting toilets? What were the advantages/disadvantages. I think I could buy a good composting toilet for about the same as it would cost me to build one - any thoughts on which works better?
