Often I wish I had held out for a parcel with a stream or river flowing thru.....and had more undulation on the property. Alas, It is what it is.....and the proximity to my home has been most important. [/quote]
The running stream and the memories have kept me from selling the north place, for now. I think you and I walked back there a few years ago.

I'm not close to double what I paid for the house and land, and I bought/built at a what I felt was a good price point in 2012. We'd make some money on the sale, but when you throw in property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs (and food plots and fruit trees) I'm guessing I would be up quite a bit more had I invested the same amount in an index fund. Of course, we all need a place to live I guess We need a place to live as you say, but many of us just need a place to do something outside. It helps keep me sane. Fishing, golf, land management, working with equipment, or apple trees. I agree that many of us need outside "playgrounds". I enjoy this piece of property and would like to watch it hit its potential in the years to come. I do continue to struggle with how this state is run and with how rural folks are treated here however.
