I see land ownership in your future

You a wizard or am I so predictable? That was always my secret dreams, but there is no way my child or hopefully potential grandchildren would want to live a rural life, and a hobby farm without passing it on (or predictable sold by the heirs) is a sad thing.

I don't know why a hobby farm is sad. It there to be your own place, not for you to start a noble dynasty.

Can't you rent a farm?

Lumifer's insight was that people like me want to get rooted. Renting is pretty much the opposite of getting rooted.
