What is a Retreat?

Most people interested in buying a property for a retreat are looking for some combination of:

• A water source
• Small to large acreage
• Land for pasture or gardens
• Good topsoil
  
• A rural area
• A private, secluded property, which would be out of the way of any sort of trouble
• The ability to defend the retreat, in the case of a total collapse, in which crime becomes rampant.
• Potential for solar, wind, or microhydro power.
