Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out so far and wide. Keep Santiago just give me that campo side!
Ok a little flash back for those of you who remember the show Green Acres. By the way even as a child if found Eva Gabor repulsive.
Well here is some land that we looked at earlier and have returned to look at again. There are a few things that we really liked about this property which has caused us to return. The land was very peaceful and there was no noise other than cows chewing grass. We still have a few misgivings about the size and the little building as well if we can purchase some land from the adjoining property owner, who we understand would likely be willing to sell as portion of his large fundo. A big bonus is the creek which seems to run year round and it has a springhouse/well. It also has some large hardwoods that wood be great for lumber and smaller trees for firewood.

Looks lovely! Is it at least large enough to get started? And how far would it be from the Menonnites you've befriended in your current location?
ReplyDeleteYes this is what we liked about the property. It is lovely and quiet, but there is more land for us to see. It is still close for us to get to our friends but still out in the sticks. We will see.
DeleteI was wondering the same thing as Flambeaux: How far from your friends? What is the general location? It looks so pretty -- very peaceful. NICE CREEK...are there any other views like you've had some of the other properties you've visited...i.e. vulcan or water? So green...
ReplyDeleteAs you know we are still waiting for some things to fluff out in the former USA, but I think it is now time to step up our land search to see what else is out there for us to see. We will put up all pix or videos as well. We have created a video play list of land we are looking at and we will keep adding to that list.
DeleteThanks for the words of encouragement.
