Maximum ongoing maintenance issues in exchange for peace of mind due to the absence of society (assholes).
oh yes please!
Clear enough for a garden and green house, trails to walk my dog and of course the obligatory shooting range. Ok, ok, maybe a pond to catch some bass
If there’s a fire, that cabin is going to burn.
Yeah, that’s what I came here to say
1. It’s beautiful.
2. That is atrociously horrid fire mitigation, as in, there is no mitigation. One spark from that chimney landing on one of those pines right next to the house, and FOOM it’s gone, to say nothing of natural fires ripping through.
Heck, the trees might SURVIVE the fire.
I’ve walked through pine forest where every tree was covered in soot and char 40 feet up, but was still alive. The forest will survive; that cabin is gonna turn to ash.
I have one that used to be like that. Then wind blew one of my trees over onto my power line in the middle of a Canadian winter. Repairing the line and the freezing damage was expensive.
Next year I hired a local with a big excavator and cleared 150 feet all around the cottage. Sold the logs and just about broke even.

Trees are pretty things but a major rural menace.
