We’re at Lake of the Ozarks, south of Jeff City.

Low taxes, low cost of living, friendly people, did I mention low taxes?
Built a new house on lakefront property back in ‘02.
Soil is very rocky so our veggie gardens are raised beds with brought in dirt.
We still have two dozen green tomatoes to pick plus 100 jalapeños (won’t plant quite so many next year.)
Still do a bit of oil biz but don’t get out and travel to customers. Tank cars are my specialty.
Life is good.
“Low taxes, low cost of living, friendly people, did I mention low taxes?”
ok, let’s compare ;)
Our house is 1700 sq ft + a finished basement that’s the same + 18 acres, taxes are $1100/year. They went up $100 when we added an addition and a 1600 sq ft shop. I guess with the addition, it’s 1900.
No lake though! I did see some beautiful properties a few years back on your lake going for foreclosure prices. It was mighty tempting. But we wanted acreage, away from people.
