Growing up in the 50s our neighbor had 2500 acres, lived in a small log cabin, no electricity or plumbing and had a fire going in fireplace year round since he & wife cooked on it.
Never had a tractor and in one barn was a post war Chrysler with less than 100 miles on it. He drove home from dealer and it frightened him so he parked it.
He worked around part of his place using draft horses but never had a job since he inherited lots of money.
He lived like someone from early 1800s.
Except he had lots of money! But my kind of guy.
Common place here in those days. There is a town about 20 miles from us that didn't have any power until the 1960's. They held a town fair every year to raise money to bring power in. Check out Granby, VT
