Currently small town urbanish suburbanish? We are in the historic district right next to the University, right near downtown. We are moving to the country as soon as we close on the new house
Country! Deep country.. We have 100 acres, we lease another 68+ (to keep the hunters off) and there is close to 1000 acres of timber land around us.. Everyone who lives on the paved road is kin to my husband. Our farm sits almost 1/2 mile from the paved road.. It's paradise!!
I have a really large garden spot and two small ones, I have a small orchard w/ apples, peaches, pears, plums, blue/black/dew-berries, cherries, fig, persimmon, pomegranate, herbs and a small vineyard with 12 muscadines and 3 table grapes. We have two ponds stocked w/ fish, There is quail, dove, wild turkey and of course whitetail deer roaming everywhere. I have 10 honeybee hives... Soon to have chickens: RIR, BR, BO and my true Blue Ameraucanas..
It would be VERY hard for me to return to a city/suburbs/town (where I was born and raised)!
I'm 5 minutes from town, but our town is a small rural town soooo, yeah. Down there road there's a couple neighborhoods and behind our land is a small trailer park, but other than that, just a bunch of long, winding roads and farm land.
I would love to par take in this conversation, but the rant would be to long. :ived in this place for 19 years and things got bad with-in the last 5. New people moved in from the city and this is considered country. We are first name basis on our sheriffs department. They say we have to respond because of a complaint, but I can't give you a citation because your within your rights, so go figure. Let these people that want country living without the perks give a citstion too for complaining of country noises.
We're on a 1/2 acre within "city" limits, but it is a fairly small-medium size city. We are spitting distance from unincorporated county and probably 10 minutes from town (grocery store, gas, feed store) and 20-30 minutes from major shopping. We used to be considered rural residential until the city folk from the LA area started moving up here for the cheaper home prices. They changed our zoning to R-1 (city) residential even though we are surrounded by large properties (some with horses, etc). We intend to move when the economy turns around and we can get a decent price for our house. Then we are moving to a very rural area!
