very unlikely im sorry I love your ideas they are very much like my own

but its going to be hard to find that perfect piece with the water resources

you want in such a small size  the other thing is permits and such for damming

up a small stream i think that would be the hardest thing unless you intend to

do this without permits it could be if you keep it unobtrusive.

so here would be my suggestion look at washington state lots of rainfall

and hence plenty of small streams to play with and lots of trees to build with

and to cover up and keep private your water wheels. you will probably need to look at larger lots than 2 acres but thats ok the extra land you dont use

will be a fuel and building material forests as per permaculture with

hunting and wild gathering also possible.
