So, just found out that the 107 acres adjacent our our family land will likely be split into a sub-development once the economy turns around. We're about 7 miles from town, which once was considered quite rural in our area, but with so much near-city land being bought up, once rural land is now being developed. I was actually deer hunting on the back corner of our place and had to track a deer onto the other property. That trip spiked my interest in that land, so contacted the owner. A neighbors friend bought it from him (the neighbor) as a favor. The new owner has no use for the land, seeing he's already got 1600 about 30 miles away. The new owner told me last night that he'd sell it to me if my offer was right. It was logged back in the the early 90's, so Its got some young timber left and a couple large fields. Anyway, originally the land appealed to me as a place to build and deer hunt, and now its appealing to me simply to protect our rural serenity. Grrr. At this point, we'll just have to hope and pray for the best, considering we've not got the funds for the land.
