Thanks so much. We got so lucky regarding this place. Our place is over a mile down a private access road so privacy all but guaranteed. I talked to a random realtor one day, told him I wanted land, creek, trees, privacy and acreage and was ready to move fast. It was during the real estate crisis in 08-09.
He called me early the next morning, told me this place had just hit the market that morning. I looked at it best I could in a pouring rainstorm, took my wife couple days later, still pouring rain, including inside the house! Six offers on the place in the first week but my offer was no inspections, no contingencies, close as soon as you can get your title company to act.
The property is eleven miles from the cty seat, restaurants, doctors, etc.
We have seen bear, mountain lions, Lynx, fox, turkey, great blue heron, all the Bucks hide in our woods during hunting season. After we bought it, we discovered an overgrown road leading to the creek, nice flat spot along the creek absolutely choked with blackberry and untouched forest litter. I estimate we disturbed 100000 lady bugs clearing the creek area.
We will probably end up with a new car but probably won't be able to replace it with another awd Lexus suv. This is really coming from left field. I haven't looked at cars in eight years and now feel rushed into grabbing one like a quart of milk. I'm about research and getting up to speed before talking with auto sales people.
Thanks for all your help to date...stay close, lol.
