Depending on where you buy/build you might or might not have a lot of problems being away for extended periods. Some areas have effective Neighborhood Watches and other, less organized areas have close neighbors who watch out for each other. Isolation and solitude are great, but around here they exponentially increase your burglary risk.
Some folks who are away for a long time use housesitters, and there are people who do that to acquire housing for no cost. Some do it in exchange for a place to stay, and others expect nominal pay, especially if garden, pet, and/or livestock care are part of the deal.
I hope this helps. Good luck. Jerry
