Couple Saves £20,000 Living Off-Grid in Caravan as They Eye Farmland Deposit

They have saved £20,000 living in a solar-powered caravan on rented land for £150 a month.

Overview

  • In June 2025 the couple invested £16,000 in an Adria Adora caravan, which now serves as their full-time home.
  • They equipped the caravan with solar panels and a water-filtration system that eliminates their council tax and water bills.
  • By paying £150 monthly land rent and limiting utility and food costs, they spend about £500 less each month than local renters.
  • Over three years their unconventional strategy has yielded £20,000 in savings toward a home deposit.
  • They plan to continue off-grid living for another year to amass a 25% deposit on farmland where they hope to build a farmhouse and raise chickens, goats and alpacas.
