I fully understand your commitment to your land, because I feel just the same way about the small acreage I have had the privilege of looking after, but have been very discouraged in the past five years, when bad health has interfered with my work. After spending the best part of 40 years sharing my ground with hundreds of campers, I at last dug out the gardens I wished for since I began. This of course coincided with the heart attack - just the start of failing health. I listened carefully to the video you linked to and the thoughts of that young man with the multiple tumours and very small amount of time left here, and it made me feel very humble and full of admiration for him. What a lesson!
As far as the tiny home goes - there are a lot of considerations to go through, and although I have actually looked at lots and lots of examples of these little self built palaces with huge interest, I would say that they might not be everyone's choice for many reasons. The first person of course to discuss it with is your wife.
Whatever becomes of the idea, eventually, on the subject, my first thoughts would be to leave all options open for as long as possible. Act in haste and repent at leisure !
I could tell you about several ''little'' places I have inhabited over the years, but there's not enough time for that right now. Phew!
