The biggest obstacle is the water, I would say, although that ties in with vehicle access too. Even if assured of that it's a hell of task to keep supplied.  A spring might have made it more feasable.

Or 35 inches of rainfall a year, a roof and a tank.

I'm intrigued to know where no.s 1 and 2 are/were!

My Grandparents used rain water for washing etc but they used a well (manually drawn up in the garden right up to the 1970s) for drinking and cooking. Rainwater and stream water not practical to clean up on any scale.  If a bore hole well was possible I suspect it would have been done before now, not forgetting they don't have much land of their own there to search for it.

Know the Blea Moor cottage and it looks like someone has recently replaced the windows from the pictures.

I spent an interesting holiday on Enlii Essential Information | enlli (bardsey.org)

Each property had a 1000 litre rain water storage container outside, which was the main source of water, a single spring water tap over the kitchen sink which wasn't potable and a Berkefield type water filter. Plus an LPG cooker and fridge, although they now use solar for the latter.

They've now put in multi-fuel stoves as well.

You need to think; what needs potable water like teeth-cleaning and what can be boiled so use rain or spring water.

Picture 7: an evil clown comes out of a different door each night to tuck you in.

So many 'features' - the (golden) arches partition, the pine and louvre wardrobe, the window from the stairs into the bedroom, the pelmets and tasselled lampshades. Oh, and little holes in the kitchen and bathroom ceilings.
