A plot of land to 'get away to' is a great thing to have if you are getting away to it frequently enough to stop it from turning into a jungle. Abandoned land turns into proto forest with amazing speed, and any dwelling on there will be eaten up in record time. If you are serious about this please budget for a local caretaker.

Some people are OK with with proto Forest or or natural environments. I have a getaway that has gone 40 years without meaningful caretaking.

Maybe once a decade a few hours are spent pruning trees which encroach on the view or clearing brush for fire safety.

Hell, there are miners cabins built in the 1800s that are still habitable without any dedicated caretaking
