Have been thinking of moving to New Zealand. I want to know where to move to, should I decide to move there.
I want acreage and about 30-45mins drive from a larger town (not necessarily a city) with some secondhand-thrift- shops and places to buy items conducive to prepping. Of course, the bottom of the South Island seems to have loads of cheap real estate, but it also has loads of cold. :xeye: Though, I suppose it is easier to warm up, than to cool down. (Someone mentioned that when I lived in southern Tasmania). North Island or South, I'm not fussed. Perhaps not so close to where the quakes hit.
My son is homeschooled and I'm more of a simpler living/homesteading kinda gal. I like homemade natural things, organic home grown produce and keeping chickens. Where might one find a population of others who are like minded? Not hippies so much, but people who would be more inclined to live a more self sufficient kinda lifestyle. eg: I live in the Yarra Valley and we have some people here who are like that. Even a small handful of survivalists out here too.
I would like to be near forest, as I prefer green to concrete. Though, I guess that's not too hard in NZ lol. And why do a lot of real estate sites mention leasehold or freehold land ownership?
