CFerguson, sounds like a neat set-up if can find the right places.
I just found out that the leach field on a septic system lasts about 40 yrs. I have one at our home in the country that is having problems with roots getting in and I've used the 'root kill' for quite sometime. And, roots are still getting in. This particular piece of land is very wooded on 17 acres.
If you decide to put in a system, maintenance would be needed from time to time. Trees WILL find the leach field! I recently found the foaming root kill and hoping that it will work better than the granulated.
Because of the age of the leach field, I will probably have to have another put in. All this was done in 1980. The home is used seldom so I might can get by for a little while since I had the 1,000 gallon tank pumped out.
Good luck on your search!
MM.
