I would use a combo of solar panels and wind energy. I would still need a septic system and well. Garden for fresh food and can food for winter. It would need to be in a moderate climate somewhere steady between 20 degrees and 90 degrees.

A combination of solar and wind energy would be ideal unfortunately solar panels although more affordable now that ever before would be one of the most expensive up front costs for a homestead

but wind is definitely something i'm going to look into!! .. I'm also planning on either a burn or composting toilet which is a little expensive initially but in the long run the smaller cost of maintaining would make it worthwhile. Insofar as weather...Chad you have me there, Alaska in winter averages 10 below..but it makes up for it in Spring and Summer with lots of sun (70's & 80's) and they grow the sweetest peas and carrots in the world that will spoil you forever to vegetables grown elsewhere...
