Almost Heaven
West Virginia! Ever since I used to belong to a hunt club in Hampshire County WV I have toyed with the idea of buying some property there. Not neccesarily Hampshire county although it is beautifull but somewhere in the state. Real Estate there is certainly reasonable enough, if you do your shopping you could buy a small tract of land {somewhere around 100 acres} for as low as 700.00 per acre. That seems cheap to me, so if you are from San Francisco or Naples it probably seems like a give-away. Given the current realestate market difficulties and the demand for property in such a remote location, the hardships of winter may provide some buying opportunities not seen in some time. If I could avoid being a victim of those conditions myself I might test the market and at least look at some property. The Capon Valley is particularly beautifull, I drove thru it last fall on a hunting trip and the scenery is spectacular. Kirsti is properly mortified by the idea and doesn't want to talk much about it , if I bring it up at work or with neighbors, well thats how rumors get started, so that leaves me with the blogg to float my dreams over. That is about all it is right now, just a dream.

We'd definitely like to have it all. We like to be close to civilization and all the amenities of it, but we like to get away from it all. We like the idea of being near the coast, but we like the mountains. We love the weather where we are. What we need is enough money to afford three places and the people to keep them up for us. Or a compromise or reality check is in order. Or both. Sigh.
The reality check is probably what I need
If we could get some land in the mountains near us, i.e. drivable for the weekend for 700/acre I think we would grab it. Unfortunately West Va is just a little too far. But believe me, Keith, we totally understand the dream.
