I don't need 300 acres of land or a 12,000 sq ft. house. Even 10 acres is more than what I need, but I'll take it. It just has to be a plot of land that isn't "deed restricted..." something a bit hard to find in my general area as most of that land has been bought up by developers who turn it into sub divisions and impose deed restrictions. Those developers then set up HOAs which impose all these restrictions on what it takes to live in their sub division. Most of them have to do with making the community housing/neighborhoods seem "uniform." Thus, there are a bunch of rules about what the exterior of your property can look like (outdoor paint restrictions, colors of roof shingles, the design of your outdoor garden, etc. etc.). And, apparently, one of those rules is not having the street number physically on your house. Why? I don't know. It's a stupid rule, But it is what it is. I think I've only seen one house that has the number physically on it (oddly enough the same house that has the propane tank installed). Still, there hasn't been a huge rush to get the numbers put on the houses. That's saying something.
I could go farther out in the rural areas to find a non-deed restricted plot of land. But the farther out I go, the greater the risk of not having utilities available (electric, city water, etc. etc.) and the farther away from shopping, services, etc.
