The 50k is just the plot of land, or comes with a (decently) build cabin? I’ve actually been looking (in my spare time, not very seriously) into owning something in either Finland or Norway. I’m a EU citizen, so visa is not a requirement.
A friend of mine is building entirely off-grid in Finland: https://medium.com/@upnorthandoffgrid https://medium.com/@upnorthandoffgrid
I’m not that interested in off-grid, but I am in a nice plot of land with nature, a decent home on it (as sustainable as possible) that I can use for a few months/year.
Let me know once you launch a site.
- morphle 4y ago$50K is for a complete turnkey package: a custom house build, the land, legal fees for permits, the infrastructure (you would need a lot of extra solar panels, heat storage, batteries, water and sewer purification in Finland and Norway especially near the artic) and to be able work remotely you need more than a Starlink satellite dish. You probably need at least one electric car as well. It all depends on the location of the land. Your picking the most expensive northern place in terms of cost of living, land prices alone are much higher here. You might need to build a road. Renting out the place for most of the year might cover your cost, but I guess $50K is not a lot in this part of Europe.
