Best way to search for rural house with large plot?

AnotherPowerPointSlideDeck · 25/07/2026 12:31

Hi all,

I'm casually looking for a detached rural property with between 1/3 to and acre of land. Outbuildings preffered. I'm really struggling on Zoopla and Right move. Despite adding rural and land as filters it brings up houses on housing estates, which is the opposite of what I want. I have new builds turned off. Not sure what the best way to search is. Any help appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your help. I've joined that Facebook group and closer to when we are ready to move I'll ask for more help in searching. Currently we are looking in the off chance we find the perfect house, but are not "having" to move. If we don't, then we will stay put for a year or so.

I don't have to apologise for your miscommunication tbh, not sure if you understand that things can come across differently in text form. You left an ambiguous comment, and assumed that I hadn't bothered doing what any half intelligent human would do, I. E. Ask AI.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious, very much appreciated.

Well, I hope you get the property you deserve, op.

The problem was not my miscommunication. I did not miscommunicate. You misinterpretated.

I do understand that things can come across differently in writing when you can't hear someone's tone or see their expression, yes. But I think most people would hold off expressing the opinion that someone is being 'a sarcastic dickhead' for a point in the conversation where it's already become very clear that that might be the case. Not in their very first interaction with you. I do not accept that my comment was 'ambiguous' at all, but if you found it ambiguous then surely the decent thing to do would have been to give me the benefit of the doubt on our first interaction, would it not? After all, the nature of ambiguity is that my comment was just as likely to be meant one way, as another.

As I say, the way your mind works says an awful lot more about you than my apparent 'ambiguity' says about me.

As for 'Thank you for pointing out the obvious, very much appreciated.' who is being a sarcastic dickhead now?

As you say, any half intelligent human would probably think to ask AI. Although it appears that only a fully intelligent human can think to ask AI in such a way that yields the results the half intelligent human was aiming for.

But you carry on trying to justify yourself and refusing to apologise if you must. It lets us all see you for the kind of person you are.

Thanks for wasting your own time writing me an essay.

Oh trust me. I wasn't a waste. It's fulfilling its intended purpose the more you respond.

You ever tried not being a sarcastic dickhead? No idea why anyone posts on here given they could just ask CHATGPT.

Clearly I've tried this already. Nothing comes up apart from "try On the Marker “

Bloody hell you sound nice. (THAT was sarcastic.)
