I don't have any real suggestions for you, Jai, but your dream sounds very doable, and I have a feeling that you'll make it a wonderful place! It takes money, and a lot of work, but it's totally worthwhile to have the place you dream of.
We finally have our dream place. I wish we'd found it much earlier. You're starting early so that's great! We have an iffy well, so check your water sources carefully.
