What a great (and enviable!) position to be in! Take your time and enjoy the process - particularly as you seem to be interested in a more traditional setup.
I've a couple recommendations that you might find useful.
First, if you haven't done so already, hunt out your local blacksmithing association - they'll truly be an invaluable resource as you look for tools and materials (and training...? - not sure if you're looking for that too?). Join ABANA - the quarterly periodicals alone are a wealth of ideas and connections. And sign up on the iforgeiron.com forums.
Second, as to solid fuel forges, you can use fabricated steel forges - for which you'll find a wealth of information, or build a traditional brick / stone forge for which you'll find almost nothing! lol.
This link was invaluable as a starting point for a brick forge build.

Third. Books. Lots of books. Endless, marvelous swacks of books. I have three suggestions that will help you with shop and tool choices:
"Professional Smithing: Traditional Techniques for Decorative Ironwork, Whitesmithing, Hardware, Toolmaking, and Locksmithing" by Donald Streeter
This book has outstanding chapters on shop setup and tools - or rather 'his' setup and tools - but its excellent.
Mark Aspery's three volume series on "Mastering the Fundamentals of Blacksmithing". Great shop and tool info as well as a complete self-guided course materials. Outstanding.
And finally, the amazing book by Otto Schmirler

I posted a link since it would be a pain to type out that title.
Great, great visual representation of a blacksmiths tools and their uses.
I could go endlessly on and on! lol
A huge collection of tools is in here:

Also the only blacksmith related book in my local library...
