Nice place and an amazing price. When I took my big relocation trip around the country, I definitely hit Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. And North Dakota. The main problem with those places is the lack of big acreage near a good-sized town. And as you get closer to the Big Town’s it gets Mighty expensive. So I had to look that place up on City-Data. It’s 36 miles to the next city with 50,000. Then the next biggest city is 200000, 450 miles away. There you go! Distance drops the price. Even here, the house we just sold would be worth about fifty thousand more if it was closer to town. And one of my reasons for moving is I wanted to get closer to town. Driving 45 minutes one way is annoying, especially when you want to go back twice in a day! I had to change churches because it was just too far. I’m getting older, I want to be near doctors. That would be really hard being out in the middle of nowhere in Idaho or North Dakota.
‘And one of my reasons for moving is I wanted to get closer to town....I’m getting older, I want to be near doctors.’
That’s me. Before living here, I lived 11 miles from any store or other services. Once I was home, I was HOME. I would do all my errands on the way home so if I forgot something, it stayed that way until I had reason to leave home again.
Living in town now, with most services within 3-5 miles (I can hit up EVERYTHING I could want with a 20 mile loop-library is across town) is much easier. That’s why with my retirement planning, it will at least be in a small town. Heck, even here I’m allowed 3 chickens if I want them! Wouldn’t be able to raise all my food, but I’m Radar O’Reilly when it comes to sourcing stuff. LOL
