Permissive ADU laws are a bright spot in CA, since they allow more ways to generate income from a property.

I know trailers are very popular and even considered renting out spots.

The existing pond should be plenty compared to our 8 acre spot and its pond. 

Everything you said is spot on.

Definitely no roommates, were hoping to have our own private spot.

Inventory is still short, so maybe we just perma-stagnate for a couple years :(I am in the same spot, sitting on cash.

I came across a fantastic article on the top US Road trips and unsurprisingly The Oregon Coast took the top spot :) Top 7 Scenic US Coastal Road Trips:- Oregon - Pacific Coast- California - Pacific Coast- Maine - Route 1 - North Carolina - Outer Banks- Alabama - Connection By Way- North Florida - A1A - Florida Keys - A1AI might move The Keys up this list a little..but the entire Oregon Coast is breathtaking. 

From what I have gathered Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan tend to be the states that keep appearing as the best spots for potential Section 8 landlords, at this moment in time.

Sometimes spot on, sometimes way off.
