Re: “Ya done good and should unashemedly be proud of what you guys have accomplished. Great job youngun.. (relatively speaking).”Thanks. Getting this property was pure luck. My desire was to get about 100 acres of farmable land. I figured I'd get something along the Connecticut River. I was dependent at that time on the homebuilder I'd already used, so I told the realtor to limit the search to properties with 15 miles of my builder's house.

There weren't many such properties. Just four, I think. My wife and I looked at them all. Two were sold by the time our realtor could show them to us. I didn't like them anyway. The third was clear cut forest with stumps everywhere... about as unfarmable as a flat, treeless piece of land could possibly be. The fourth was the one we bought. Most of it is wilderness, but 18 acres are clear and the soil is REALLY good. Do you remember my complaint about all the rocks in my current land? There are almost no rocks in that field. I walked the whole thing jabbing it with a pickaxe. Land that isn't a struggle to work is a rare thing in "The Granite State."

Like I said, luck. I didn't get the hundred acre farm I thought I wanted but I did get nearly that much of beautiful farm AND wilderness, surrounded by a few thousand other wilderness acres that I am free to roam if I so choose. That's one of the nice things about New Hampshire: Most undeveloped land is unposted and therefore freely available for the public to hike, snowmobile, drive, fish and hunt.

So, although the land has a tiny town within walking distance on one side, there's a mile or more of forest on its other sides. It's the perfect arrangement for a person who wants to feel completely isolated without actually being completely isolated.

I hope you'll visit some day! Plan on staying a while.

well De,
in all honesty, from the photos I have seen, and one day hope to see in person, I would say the contractor was impressed by the sheer beauty as he should be, and the wonderful work on the property and the homestead and barn you have had built. Its a dream escape and home for a pluarilty of most people. Ya done good and should unashemedly be proud of what you guys have accomplished.

Great job youngun.. (relatively speaking). More ancient folks reside onthis board so I was just trying to make them comfortable.. Laughing Laughing Laughing
