Fairhope looks nice. I look forward to seeing it in person and spending some time there. Thank you very much for the recommendation. I can always visit Orange Beach out of season.
15 years ago my sister moved to Max Meadow VA. 7 acres and a four bedroom for 135,000 She sold it 5 years ago for 279 and moved to Pulaski into mobile home.
You might check out the area if you get near Bristol TN Max Meadow is very rural but near the interstate 81 and the intersection of I-77. The area is half way between Bristol and Roanoke VA about 5 hours from Dulles Airport and the same for Raleigh-Durham which has great hospitals. There is a hospital in Roanoke and one in Bristol. Also an airport in Charlotte, NC.
The closest city to Max Meadow is just south, Wytheville VA also a nice place where the interstates Intersect. People are good throughout the area.
There’s a couple of realtors in the area.
