Indiana. Central Indiana just north of the city. Seriously. Absolutely spectacular place. Conservative, great schools, and I mean world class. Low taxes. Great infrastructure. Easy to make friends. At the center of the grocery wars, ie. all produce and fish cheap. Cheap housing, and when I mean cheap 500k buys you a mansion. (7500 sq foot with a bowling alley in the basement) Water table is 60 ft down and you could get 200 gal a minute if you wanted to. Hell, I will even give you a lead. Google Indianapolis Executive airport and then move north east. Stuckys (sp). I don’t know if they would be willing to sell but is is kind of a hobby apple orchard. Only about 100 acres or so. Stuff is cheap out here. Would probably cost less than your cali house.
