off grid sustainable living?

8 years ago
Hi all!

My bf and I currently live in Colorado, but are wanting to move to punta del diablo Uruguay next year (2016) .

We own our own home here in the us and will be renting it out, along with our other rental property we're buying our rental income will be around 2k a month.

We want to buy land there in pdd and build our own home.

My first thought is to buy 3x 28' long shipping containers here and fill them with all that we need to set up, but then I read no seeds, foods, candles, chemicals, yurt or lumber?

What can we bring?
What do we need to bring to build our home or what are orices on such things there?
What about animals? Say chickens, ducks, goats, cows? Are they easily obtained in pdd?

I currently stay at home and dritter tend ** 80+ birds, beehives, rabbits, kittens, dogs and huge extensive indoor and outdoor gardens as well as mmj.

We are in our early 40's. Very handy mechanically and with animals and plants. My bf is capable ofbuilding our own home, but we need to know what CAN we bring?

I have a friend that lives in pdd and I can mail things slowly to her.. but i would love to be able to pack up a few containers and my most beloved animals and best of my seed genetics to set ip our sustainable homestead.
