From neighborhood to land -life change

Hi all! My partner and I are raising two teens and we have a business together sitting at computers all day. The current politics are motivating us to think about a major pivot. We have, before this year, envisioned ourselves eventually living a homestead life. My partner is a visionary and a doer. We see being on some land with a smaller energy efficient home, solar panels, well / spring fed water. Wed love to set this land up as a creative, nature retreat for small groups. We’d love to set up a hydroponic greenhouse + install orchards and that might even generate some income. That would be a hope but most importantly, we could mostly sustain our family with food and a low cost of living. We are currently in a beautiful historic neighborhood (20 years now) with long time friends also raising their kids on every block. I am nervous about the unknown, mainly leaving this community. I view this move as a very isolating experience. Our current community does not really share our mindset, as we would love to retire early- and we can both see ourselves busy running a small garden/ farm. We have also tossed around the idea of moving abroad… or, moving close-ish to our college aged kids one day. I think we’d get bored living in our current house lol Can I get some insight on your experience big or small? The good and the challenging?
