How possible is it to actually live off your own land?

I'm not talking going full "off the grid" but close to it.

I've realized I can't stand working 9-4 every day or more doing constant over time and 50-60 hour work weeks.

It's not that I don't like to work but I hate being taken away from home and the people I care about and doing work that feels pointless to me.

I make really good money(im talking about 100K) but I feel like there's no point because I don't really live to spend it. I spend an hour or two at my apartment every night then go to bed to get up and go back to work.

I've been thinking more and more lately that I'd like to save up for a few years and then invest in a small chunk of land in the country. Small house just enough for basic needs. Get a decent greenhouse set up and live that way. I just don't know how actually plausible that is as a long term lifestyle.

I'm a millwright by trade so I can fix just about anything and maintain my car for a long ass time. I can cook well and know how to make the most from food. I don't have expensive tastes or hobbies or things like that.

I just want to live a simple life. I don't care if its hard work, but at least its hard work on my own time at my own place.

So anyone know if living like this is actually possible if you keep costs down? Own the land and house and avoid debt? Maybe get a few odd jobs for people when you have to? (like I said Millwright so I can always do the odd contract when I need to)
