@Motodrachen Adjacent experience leaves me pretty sure that if not for the disabilities that leave me exhausted all the time, I'd still love that life to bits in the right climate. Say, on the Olympic peninsula (WA) or one of the islands in Puget Sound.
That said, I'd either learn enough masonry to build a two- or three-sided brick enclosure for the woodstove, or hire an actual mason to do that part. Some things, you don't mess around with.
