So my wife an I live in a 1 bed/1 bath condo. It's awesome. Big for a condo, close to my work, and right on a great bass fishing lake. Only problem is, now that we're coming up on 30 years old, it's time to start a family, and that's kinda hard to do in a 1 bedroom condo. What I originally had in mind was a nice 3 bed/2 bath house in a neighborhood, with a garage, for preferably $150-180k. Apparently you haven't been able to get something like that where we live (in a decent school district) for about 20 years. I had to up my limit for pricing, which sucked, but realized that I wasn't going to find anything I liked (turnkey house) for less that $250k. Ridiculous. Until I remembered that my wife has horses, and we pay a crap load of money every month to someone else to board them. LIGHTBULB FLICKERS Why not pay a little more and find a house with land and a barn and keep that extra money? So we found our first house. Its a 3 bed/3 bath, 2100sqft ranch, on 5 acres, a huge 18X36' shed (it has man cave written all over it), a 25X50' barn, and the back 2.5 acres is riding trails/hunting/dirt bikes and atv's. Our offer has been approved, and we just had the home inspection yesterday. It came back pretty good, with only a few small issues. Biggest one being the damper on the wood stove is inop. No biggee. AAAAAAANNNNNNDDDD, although it wouldn't be able to happen for a while, I have "permission" to dig a 1.5 acre pond on the rear of the property. Trophy bluegill here I come...
On a side note, I can't figure out how to post an image of the entire property, but if any of you guys gets bored, and has google earth, the address is:
1340 Beaver Dam Rd 23322
