ROAD TRIP!

We decided yesterday morning to race back to Hometown to check out a plot of land for sale. What would warrant a 3+ hour one-way ride? 100 acres of forest + pasture land for $50,000 including a house, 25 minutes from city centre. SOOOO...we jumped into the car and headed to the mountains. This is a private sale and a ridiculously good price, so she was swarmed with interest. About 25 other buyers had visited the land, and I imagine she will be able to fetch higher than her asking price. But just in case she really wants an awesome, handy and friendly young couple to have it, we are going to put in an offer. We can only afford the asking price (no more) but we won't be carving up the land to sell off for profit so she may look kindly on us. I could imagine living there, once the house is dismantled and put together a little more to our taste. There are apple & cherry trees on the property, two brooks, lots of firewood, raspberries and blueberries galore. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but if we bought this land we would be mortgage free with 100 acres. Cool, eh?
