Purchasing land to build small STR village
Just wondering if anyone has done this and could offer some insight. I'm looking to purchase a piece of property (2.2 acres) and looking to place 5 small structures for STR. These will most likely be a combination or Yurts and tiny cabins. The reason for this post is to get some opinions on which direction I go in to power these units and hopefully learn from someone who has done something similar.
1. Be completely offgrid by installing a 2,000+ gallon water tank which will be filled by a company as needed, solar and wood burning stoves. I could use some advice on how to incorporate a bathroom and possibly a shower to this. If I decide to add a shower I imagine I might want to go with a larger water tank to avoid filling it so often.
2. Tie in to all city utilities. I'm a mountain man and hate this idea but it seems the most accommodating to guests.
This will be in the NW NJ area near Mountain Creek ski resort. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
