One of the reasons I decided to purchase some land in Portugal is exactly what you have described today in your post. I have been feeling the need to isolate myself from the crowded life for quite a while and this summer we ended up purchasing a parcel at the edge of a small town surrounded only by other properties with no houses, just olive and cork trees.
There's lots of work that needs to be done to convert the existing little tiny house into a comfortable living space with electricity, heat, and running water, but that is also a challenge I'd love to work for.
I'll try to share my progress if it helps inspire others, just as I get inspiration from many others who have done it before.

I think, through finding space, a little isolation from society, it would make the relationships we have better, more meaningful or deeper because they're a rare commodity so to speak.
I'm looking forward to your posts on your progress, it'll be interesting and exciting to see what you do and how it all comes together.
