DH and I have fun poking around the houses/land for sale all the time. We have one big dream....own enough land to hunt on, fish on, trail ride on, and stable horses, beef cows, chickens, and pigs (for our own consumption). We want to be closer to our favorite state park (about a hour south of us) and still be in an area that we can see things (like movies, shows, go to nice resturant, ect)....
Our forever home that we would never leave and probably try to get a state permit to be buried there (neither one of us like where our respective families get buried and we dont really have a place of our own, so....)
Anyway....we found one that we keep going back to - over the last few months whenever we look, this property always pops up...every time.
Its a little farther away then we were hoping for to a larger city - the drive to work in the winters would be, fun, to say the least, but it has literally everything on our list - plus it has a second well and septic on the land that we could actually build our dream dream house, and use the current Modular (on foundation) as a guest house for when we have huge ass bonfires and when our out of state friends bring their horses to trail ride.
But
We have to still sue our realtor/title company/seller (long story)
We would have to sell this house (we talked about renting, but really just want to get rid of it)
We would have to actually qualify for the USDA loan (its considered a farm property since it's already set up for livestock)
We would have to clean up the property - theres junk/old trailers/old cars on the property (that we can see on google maps) and that would cost some money i am sure.
I would have to transfer to the school in said big city - DH can transfer at any time with no hassle.
DS starts school in August.
OMG so many things! Then of course there is my apprehension on moving away from my mom. We are best friends and I don't know if i am ready to go from seeing her pretty much every day to like maybe every other weekend.
Its just....man its everything we want. 46 acres, 30 wooded with great deer and turkey hunding. The rest is alreay fenced for livestock and there is a lean to for horses/cows already.
I dont even know what i am asking, but my fear of just jumping right in is keeping me from pulling the trigger and starting the process.....i just dont want it to blow up you know?
