It’s all beautiful, it’s just the winter weather! But after being here, where there are houses literally everywhere - no long roads without a dwelling in sight or isolated houses, and it’s hard to find anything not in sight or earshot of others - those quiet distances sure are beckoning.
How much have house prices gone up around there? I’m not sure about affordability now.
I did not look up house prices, but S Dakota has no property so it would seem to attract retirees.
