Anecdote: Our property is up for sale. The realtor mentioned flight from the cities with safety as a factor. Rural property within 15 minutes of small towns with amenities sought by urban-dwellers are hot (retirees and young families).

We have nearly 40 acres in rural Northern Vermont. Nice place with 25 acres of woods leading down to the river, the rest in old pasture down to the dirt road that connects the two villages. It has a couple of springs, 1000 feet of river frontage, 3.5 miles to the village, 15 miles to the nearest big box and the interstate that leads to the big Northeast cities. It looked perfect to us when we lived in the city, but we have settled on an island in Alaska with no road access to anything; so our plans have changed. Time to sell.

I don't mind people moving out to where we are, But for the love of all that is holy, leave your big city angst, attitudes and other BS back in the city.

They really should stay in the city if they don't want to really live in the country. We have a big city neighbor. The guy is an idiot! He has no business living in the country. I am surprised he is still living there. But no one will buy that house, so.....

We have 80+, 14 acres tillable organic, 1000’ river frontage & 3 springs, house, converted barn, two sturdy sheds/pole buildings. 8 miles to town.

If we were younger, we’d think about Alaska and an island. DH is a sailor. But, we’re settling for small acreage/tight house/pole building even closer to town.

Enjoy your adventure.

What’s the highest hill on your Alaskan island? Tsunami’s etc.
