Re: May Be Relocating Soon
I keep looking at houses, and life keeps fucking me over. The secomd i have a chance to go up and look, invariably the sale goes pending.
What id really like is this, but 380k is way out of my price range, and is a bit too high for what it is.

Well you're paying for 120 acres and your own stream.
I'm paying less than 2/3 that for a bigger house with two car garage (but no barn), on a half acre but in a community with four lakes I can fish in, and state land in driving distance if I want to hunt or shoot. At 55 years old I'm uninterested in becoming a farmer but I have enough space to grow tomatoes and such. My workshop needs are met just fine by the back wall of my garage.

Re: May Be Relocating Soon
Its not about being a farmer.
Its about a) having enough space to do what I want and b) ensuring neighbors don't get any closer than binocular distance.

Re: May Be Relocating Soon
I was joking about farming since the link you shared said it had space for agriculture.
Land is expensive, especially if it has natural resources like water. They stopped making it a few billion years ago (except in Hawaii and Iceland).120 acres in New Mexico or Arizona will cost you less than a middling car. 120 in PA with a stream running thru it, you'll pay for it . Maybe not 20 years ago when prepping wasn't as much a thing as now.

Re: May Be Relocating Soon
That's actually a very good price for the amount of land(a little over 3 grand an acre), the features, and considering this is NEPA, the relative flatness of it.
Its just more than I can afford. If they'd takes lowball of 300, I could squeek by on a 30 yr note, but I'd doubt they'd go for it.
