Theoretically speaking, is it possible to live by only drinking water entirely recycled from your own grey/blackwater?

theoretically speaking, all water on earth is recycled

Yeah, but how to do it myself?
You could filter the shit out of it, of course. The energy costs would kill you.

you need to own a piece of land in the correct climate and plant the correct plants

Entirely and theoretically, yes but you would need to live in an climate-isolated, closed system that would not allow any water vapor to escape and utilize a dehumidification system to both keep the humidity stable and reclaim water vapor from the air. Sweating, open water containers, cooking food, pissing, bathing, etc all adds to the humidity which is, under standard conditions, lost to the rest of the environment.
As far as used water from other sources, you would need to have system in place to remove the water from it (distilling, decanting, etc) as well as a method to clean, dispose of and/or reuse the leftover waste products. Perhaps a toilet that uses no water but instead dries out your shit and uses it for heat - "chips" AKA animal shit has been used throughout history when firewood was scarce.
This extends to many many many other areas of life and basically, OP, you want the ability to live on a space station indefinitely.
Now this could be a good idea:

They do it on the ISS. Pretty much an entirely closed system now, with the exception of food. Pic related is outdated, they now have a Sabatier reactor to recover water from the hydrogen and CO2 that was previously vented overboard.
