Chuck, that is right out by Me, if ya google map it, I am on Toria road (well the corner of Toria and Rowetown). That would be the next road over - you'd maybe be 4 or 5 miles form me at the most - probably less than that. A friend of ours lives over on Chestnut Grove road.
Got to warn ya Chestnut Grove road - the first time I was on it, I thought the road ended and I was on a two track
. It is an interesting road to travel, but the school bus takes that route every day, so I guess for Adair county it isn't a bad road
. Ever seen the movie Ratrace? --- it's a "shoulda bought a squirrel" type road
The area is nice, though, we have great neighbors. The neighbor who lives over off Chestnut Grove is a fireman (Breeding Volunteer Fire Dept.) of course,
most of our neighbors are on the BVFD
He's the poor guy who had his whole flock of chickens killed off twice by a neighbors' dogs, though. So ya might want to pen your chickens, and not free range them. I haven't had a problem over here, but poor Matt has problems all the time - last time he trapped one of the dogs in his coop and shot it, then called the owner to come pick it up.
Matt and his wife are young, have a toddler, nice folks. They moved down here from New Jersey or some eastern area.
Your best bet is to come on down and check out the properties. We found when looking for properties that the pictures usually show the best parts, and might not show the driveway that goes through the "usually dry" creekbed or the hills that go up and down at a 90 degree angle and the like
.
All I can tell you is that this is a wonderful area to live - I am still in love with this area and my farm. I feel blessed to have found this place.
eta - if ya look at the pics I took of my farm in the icestorm, you'll get an idea of the lay of the land around here.
