I envy your freedom. I'm almost there too. Strangely, five acres is about what I am looking for, as well. It's taken me awhile to find something, though.

There are many builders of course. I don't know what you like but, recently, I have been intrigued by what looks to me like a modern tiny home...at least the interior looks very modern. I believe they will drive the house out to you. Comes with shower, bathroom, kitchen. Just add solar panels. Your needs may vary. Pretty neat, though. Enjoy your new property. Sounds liberating.
