Mrs. Bone and I went north this last weekend, looking for property/homes for sale. We are looking in a particular area where covenants are few, taxes are cheaper, and we can exercise just a bit more of our freedoms. Looked at a nice property, and are going up again this weekend to get a better look with the realtor. We both feel the need to get away from the hustle and bustle,............badly. Not a lot of land, about 3 acres, but it's enough, because there is nothing behind the property but trees for miles. I'm trying not to get my hopes up..................we've been looking off and on for the perfect place for about 3 years now. We want to get set up, so when she finally stops working, we get out of dodge, have a home waiting for permanent residence, and we put our current home on the market. Up here, the farther north you go, the cheaper the property taxes. The taxes for this place would be about $600 cheaper than where we are, if we were willing to go up farther, we could probably get taxes for about $800 a year. We'll see how it goes..............about 3 hrs. north.
