How about living in a tent on own rural land. What, that’s crazy! Maybe not. Tents on platforms create practical and comfortable dwellings in both cold and hot climates, many are used in Africa game lodges.
North of the I-40, in Northern Arizona there are some very special parcels of rural land in mile-high juniper/pinon woodland. It would be perfect to erect platform tents as homes on this rural Northern Arizona land.
Last year I stayed at one in Nata Lodge near the Nata Bird Sanctuary in Botswana, Africa. I thought, “oh no; I’m too tired for a tent”.
But this tent was beautiful, spacious and high, with a gleaming wooden floor, a half wall behind the bed, a bathroom in the back.
Could You live in a tent on rural land in Northern Arizona? — Yes, what a terrific idea! You could do it! When I wanted more air, I just unzipped a window. It was great! it was a cold night but warm inside the tent.

This one had a hot outdoor shower in a balcony off the back of the tent. Heavenly!
I saw one for sale on the web for $2500 only used for 3 seasons. Why not!
Just like a house, all the necessities can be added — a septic system and plumbing, a well for water, and a solar system on poles to run the pump, the lights, and access to the internet.
