Well $31k
30'x60' steel garage $31k
Solar system $20k
Small 3 bedroom house $80k
Septic system $5k
At a savings rate of $20k per year, I would have to work for 8 1/2 more years. That's too much. If I keep this old mobile home for now then I have somewhere to live. I don't really need a house. If I don't have a house then I don't need a new septic system. I have electricity in my existing garage. I think I could replace my wood garage with a steel one and collect rainwater off of the roof, which would eliminate the need for a well. So all I need is a big steel garage for $31k. I would still have to work for 1 1/2 more years after the mortgage is gone to pay for it. Maybe that would be doable. The long term plan would be to convert half of the garage in to an apartment little by little. That way I could do it in stages without a mortgage.
I have plenty of time to decide but if I don't have a goal then I will be tempted to spend the money elsewhere...like on dogs...and horses...don't even get me started on horses. See there's this horse rescue and they need foster homes and I need a barn and corral and fencing and shade and hay and...and...and...maybe one day.

It is so sad to look at all those pups. You are doing a good thing.
But it is so expensive. I can't imagine having enough money to foster horses. Maybe some day.
One approach:
Read about drilling technology and techniques. Buy a used drilling rig. Drill your well. Now sell the drilling rig.
done.
much more outlay of $$ but in the end much less expensive after the sale of the rig.
Since you don't need to move your rig you could build a fixed drilling tower on your land and use it as the base to install the drilling engine and gears. Then when you're done just cut it apart and sell resell the ibeams and the drilling components. Probably a lot less expensive than a portable rig.
Brilliant Bugbear. I love it. I wonder if I would need a license.
