Hi there,
Well it’s all in the title: me and my partner are looking to rent a plot of land to a farmer for a period of 2 to 3 years (with possibility to agree longer terms if happy to) to build and start a living in a more fitting environment.
Our project is to build a ‘tiny house’, it’s a one year project (Dying work is not new for us), and two years incomes budget for our estimate. The idea is to convert a 40ft Container as there is more and more coming every year.
While not needing a large interior surface (21m2) we would like to be able to have raised vegetable beds and chicken coop, maybe a deck along.
Our ideal location would be between west London and Bristol, an easy access to fast trains like Didcot area would be very helpful. We are open to other offers if we can make it work of course.
Important: We want to limit as much as possible our impact on the land: we would need connection to Waste Water and Electricity (Rainwater collection planned for clear water use), but the container would rest on foundation ground screws removable. (And if we wish to be able to move in a fair amount of time, everything needs to be movable without a fuss).
We already have in mind planning permission from the Council (It’d be a ‘Temporary Building’ but legally not a ‘Temporary Residency’), and the need for a land service, to be discussed ahead with the owner of course.
All fees/bills and costs related to settling and then living would be covered by us or included in the rental agreement.
Finally, as a son of a farmer growing up on a tractor, taking care of cattle and wheat crops, and my partner currently a gardener coming from the countryside, while our savings might not fit a ‘Mayfair borough roof-top apartment’ deposit (again, modest budget), we are not afraid to come, pitch in and bring the extra pair of hands which make sometimes a difference in a farmer’s life.
I’ve stopped counting the times my parents would have an emergency, a tight weather-related deadline, or just the need for someone to take care of the house and cattle hoping to take a weekend off, and would have to look around for people mature enough for this. We are serious, reliable, and happy to discuss a plan where we can help each other in those difficult times for us, but also for farmers as we know it becomes more and more challenging.
Please do contact me at [email protected], or do comment here if you have any thoughts, tips or hitch about our offer. We’re looking for an honest deal, a win-win!
Thank you
Yann & Mira
