Our old house was 1700 sq. ft., my sewing room was 20x20, a 3 car garage on 4.5 acres with a seasonal creek, 35 miles out of town. Our "new" home is an old 1963 single wide mobile home with a small add on, for a total of 800 sq. ft., my new sewing room is 9x15, we have sort of a "garage" and a "barn", dirt floors, no windows and certainly not air tight, but we do now have 80 acres and we're 7 miles out of town, plus it's a MUCH smaller town, 2,800 compared to 500,000. I look at it as a temporary situation, because after we get our granddaughter out of college, then we'll either build a home or put a much bigger modular home on our property.
