I AM SO INTERESTED IN IT! I would love to get some more land, and building a home on it is way out of our comfort. But this really could be something great to live in. I say do it! Life is short, go for it! Live it up! And blog about the adveture!
I had planned to buy a yurt and live in it this past summer on my DH's family's heirloom land in NH. It didn't work out because we didn't have much money, but instead we bought a huge 12x30ft Cabella's tent and lived in that for a couple of months. Although I would not recommend a tent for your family (although it was great for the two of us), a good sized yurt sounds like it would be a great option for you guys, especially in a climate that's warmer than New England! But you can insulate yurts and heat them for the winters. The only thing that I would really watch out for is mold. We had a terrible time with that in our tent, and I've heard that it is also a problem in yurts, but not as bad. I hope that you never give up on this dream though! It sounds awesome, and what is life if you don't live it? Good luck and keep us posted!
I've looked at yurts and absolutely love them from my research. They look homey. I'd say your adventurous, but that's awesome. I'd have to get at least four to serve my family of six. Keep us posted on what you do. Would love to know more and how it goes.
