New Homestead!!

[histopicker]

The wife and I have decided to make an offer on a 30 acre parcel of land that is totally off the grid. We are very excited about this endeavor. The land has a culinary well and 4 acres cleared for growing crops. There are Mule deer, wild turkey, fox, coyote, bobcat, and who knows what else on it. Elevation is 5500 feet. There are two lakes 4 miles away with trout and a small community 6 miles the other direction. I have not been this excited for several years. It is going to be a good time building up a home on this place.

5500 feet, sounds really good and I am very happy for you. Fall comes early and spring comes late at that elevation, I am envious sounds really good

Awesome! Best of luck and looking forward to see it all come together!

That sounds like a great adventure. Will it be your primary place, or more like a cabin to retreat to? (In my opinion, there's nothing against retreating 11 out of 12 months!!)

Any word?

Well the land deal fell through. Some folks just want way to much for dirt. I will let them set on it for a while and keep looking around.

[farmertrappe]

People say everything happens for a reason, personally I don't always believe that crap. Keep looking you will find your spot.

[swampfox88]

Well! When one door closes another one opens. Good luck and enjoy the adventure of finding your slice of heaven. I am looking forward to my own adventure in a few years.

[jimo]

Sorry to hear that. Keep looking and good luck.

That must be a huge disappointment for you, I am sorry to hear it. I truly hope a similar (or the same!) opportunity comes up at a fair price.
