When I retire I would like to have an acre or two, and be within walking distance of somewhere to go to the EF mass daily and on Sundays. I know of a couple ares, but am wondering about what is available across the country. The more remote the better, preferably run by an order that uses the EF exclusively.

Which country? If the USA, the monks (Benedictine) of Clear Creek, Oklahoma, use the EF Mass exclusively and the pre-Vatican II version of the Monastic Breviary.

Mass there would be in the EF 7 days a week. It looks pretty rural to me!

👍 and the best part…they are in full communion with Rome! No schismatic, no irregular, and no sedevacantist status to worry about!

can I go with you??!!! 🙂
 
Still River, Massachusetts has the Saint Benedict Center. They have daily Tridentine Mass, High Mass on Sundays and Solemnities. Staffed by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (they number around 20 I think). They run a school, and a gift shop.
 
Actually, there are TWO monasteries in Still River which offer the Tridentine Mass – The Saint Benedict Center, which is run by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary; and Saint Benedict’s Abbey, which is the home to several Benedictines.
 
The State of West Virginia is almost entirely rural, but in one of its larger towns you’ll find the “Canons of St. John Regular,” a small religious order devoted to offering the traditional Mass. I’m told they offer it with particular love and beauty. I wish I didn’t have to say it, but they are in perfectly good standing with the Church.
 
Most of the Churchs staffed by the Institute of Christ the King are in rural areas and have daily Masses. Wisconsin has the largest concentration and plenty of rural areas.

I would also throw out a recommendation for the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest in Sauk City/Roxbury/Platteville WI. They are not exclusive TLM, but they are very reverant and daily/Sunday TLM is offered in Roxbury. Roxbury is rural and many people walk to Mass daily. If you like a “Bavarian” villiage type setting you will feel right at home in Roxbury.
 
Thanks for the replies. I was looking at Cashton, WI where Institute of Christ the King run the parish seems like the perfect place. I also have family in WI. My home town in Wyoming has the EF as well, but I’m not sure how much stability is there, Although the Carmelite Monks are there to stay it would seem, but the laity are not allowed at Sunday Mass.

Has any heard anything about a group of Catholics that live like the Amish. I’m not really interested in that, but it does seem intriguing.
