Tree changing has many, many advantages and benefits. But there is another side to the coin. An acreage requires a fair bit of work to maintain. If you are going to be reasonably remote from light sources, you will find yourself having to buy more than a pocket-size block. And it will need to be fenced to keep out straying stock, slashed regularly to keep down fire risks and limit the habitats for nasties. You'll probably want to erect an observatory but also, some kind of colorbond shed to house your slasher, mower, etc and to provide you with basic camp facilities. You'll want to think about power and internet availability. Yes, you can do solar power - at a cost; and yes, you can use your smart phone for internet - if you are in the coverage footprint.
You should also think about security from fire, theft and the rest. There are mad, bad and just plain stupid people out there who would find any visible observatory/shed much too tempting to resist. Out of road visibilty is important and not just for the lights.
Keep a low visibility/profile for the sake of your safety and security.
A tree change ain't all beer and skittles.
