Unless you want the IFR capability find a Permit aircraft, a friendly engineer and a small grass strip.
I have a motor glider which is an EASA aircraft...sigh. Insurance is £1200 and I do OK with hangarage as the wings fold. The positive is I can fly at 100kts at less than 15 ltrs/hr and if it's thermic I can fly for "free".
Maintenance is the biggest headache. I can do my own 50 hrs (which is usually a 6 monthly) but need Part M shop for the annual. This year the ARC was £3000, last year it was £6000! The prop needs servicing next year.....
