I remember in my early 40's that the WWII generation was retiring and many announced their move to rural properties they had purchased. By the time I retired, many of those I knew had moved back to the suburbs because [1] they had health issues that required close access to hospitals and/or [2] they had worn themselves out trying to take care of their property. The worn out ones would have lasted much longer if they had simply lived a rural lifestyle, instead of trying to turn their acreage into a manicured park.
Park or no park, it is a lot of chores taking care of a property. Trees fall, firewood needs to be cut, split and stacked, moss grows on everything, on and on. If I want to sell the property I need to keep up on those chores and many more.
