You might just buy a larger piece of land and subdivide it to make this more straight forward.

In my town I could essentially have 2 houses on our lot ( dwelling and accessory dwelling) The limit was the septic capacity which is done by bedrooms here in vermont.

If you wanted say 3 homes you’d need to subdivide. Again this is my town.

I would say propane line to the house adds value. Even if you have no particular use for it. Just a thought if power goes out while you are away you can’t start a fire in the wood stove.

We have a adorable little 11k btu Rinnai in the basement and a single Fujitsu 15RLS3H (if I remember right) on first floor. It heats fine. This is a well insulated 1800 sq ft house. We do have a wood stove I don’t NEED to use but it’s good to have.

I would say I wouldn’t want just the heat pump. I’d want at least a gas backup or wood stove.
