the only problem with owning land is that the government will know where you are.

we dont own the land we lease it from the goverment and we have no issues with this. They set out the rules and do inspections keeping us honest.

a lease is 150 meters square. In saying this you dont have neighbors very close. Our neighbor is 4 km away. You can build your cabin add a greenhouse, workshop/fire wood storage or green house. You are responsible for moving snow and keeping your lane open. You can however pay highways a fee to do it for you. There is abundance of fire wood and you can also sell some. This is very private as you dont see it from the highway. We have woodland caribou , moose, you can have chickens if you like. We will have jobs within 15 kilometers. No power bill , heating, water , or taxes. Just a bit of propane for showers and cooking. When is 40 below ther is nothing like coming back to the cabin for home made bread, beans , etc. Great place for a couple of norwigian elkhounds. Peace and quite.
