100 acres and house

[whiskyb]

My wife Lisa and I have been doing alot of searching lately. We currently have about 700 acres leased for cash crop, pasture and barn. We have around 30 charlais cross cows. We live in town. I commute about an hour west to a casino job and my wife is about 1/2 an hour to the east as a nurse in ICU. The average price around here is about ONE MILLION for a 100 acres and a house that I would not want to invite friends over to. I can lease them for 3-4 thousand a year which makes buying even harder. Not many will sign a long lease though. We want a place of our own and will relocate if we have to. Anyone want new neighbours, what is it like near your area??

Send me a PM you are more then welcome here in Gods country!! ( and it won't cost you ONE MILLION $$) you could get a real nice place for 500,000 or less. (minus my cut of course ;-) )

Good grief! A million for a house and 100 acres? Yikes! I thought the price of land had gone up around here. The outlying communities in this county still has land selling reasonably, if you don't want the mineral rights. And in comparison to the million bucks for 100 acres, reasonable translates into cheap, cheap, cheap.

Not any casinos around here...but no hospital anywhere would turn down an ICU nurse application.

I live in Hoke county, North Carolina, about 20 miles from Fayetteville. From here to Laurenburg, cleared land is about $3000/acre for large tracts,with wooded and wetland areas as low as 1200/acre, good deals often come up in mixed terrain properties. Closer to Fayetteville and Lumberton, the prices rise dramatically as horse farms and development properties push up the prices.

500,000 ought to get you about 1000 acres here in the coastal plains of NC. You might have to clear some land for grazing but timber sells good. You won't see much snow arround here though.

North Carolina is a great spot. I head for the outer banks any chance I get. Years back when Lisa first graduated we were going to move to Hartsville, South Carolina. Ended up getting rid of all my winter clothes before we decide to stay put. Have not enjoyed a winter ever since! By the way, what does your user name mean?

My handle is just my initials+DOB - yeah - I'm an old timer. Hartsville is SW of here I'm just a bit closer to the ocean. I think the trick to getting something around here in the 500-600 dollar an acre is talking to the Extension folks. Often these places aren'tsold through Real Estate people - at least that was true of our place and all the land exchanges I am familiar with in the Bladen/ Columbus county area.

30 miles out from Springfield, Mo, you can buy an older country farm house and 100 acres for around 200-250,000. You can buy 100 acres for 150-200,000 and build a really nice house for 200,000. Nice hills and cattle country and Springfield and Branson, Mo. are popular places. Closer in to Springfield gets alot more expensive. A buddy of mine just sold a huge brick house with 4 bedroom, 2 bath, full basement, 2 car garage, deck, pool and 40 acres on a 2 lane state highway. The house was 8 years old, he was asking 325,000 and sold for a little over 250,000. The prices have fallen alot here in the last year. This was 22 miles sw of Springfield.

oak - In your area, how many acres does it take to summer a pair?

depending on what you want the condition to be and where you live, anywhere between 5-12. Some of the wealthier registered operations run about 9 when you could get away with 6. We usually run about 6 acres per pair and they stay out from May 1st to the end of October. And when we pull them off there is still enough grass to run them for another couple of months.

Here is South East Kansas prices are about the same, You can pick up an older farm house and 100 acres probably for 100,000 to 150,000. Pasture land around $1,000 per acre but can be had for less we added 75 acres adjoining our property 3 years ago for $700 per acre.

I have not pushed the acre per head ratio personally but I would say with good pasture in this area you can run a pair on 3 acres.

Around here a 100 Acre place with a good later model house, IF you can find it will fetch right close to a million dollars. Cross the state line into Kentucky, and the prices are what they were here 25 years ago. I was looking at some places for sale a few miles from here that were Farms with no house on them and they are priced at 3-4 thousand an Acre, and were about 200 acre places.Mostly wooded with some pasture.

I may have to move to KY, even the rural parts of MO are pricing me out of the market.
The only thing I recall about KY was a place called the Jet Motel where you could get some of the smoothest shine I ever had the pleasure of drinking

Haha. Hows ky gonna be 25 years behind tn? But you are ight. Land around here goes for about 1500- 2500 an acre. I have pics below of what the terrain looks like in my farm pics. I am trying to work a deal right now for a 70 acre tract for my buddies for 400 an acre. Its wooded and will just be good for hunting, and the deal is I get it for what they pay for it when they are thru. But I like the other prices you guys are thowin around, atleast I'm a millionare somewhere.

Land here starts at around 3500-4000 an acre and up. Allen County KY., which is just across the state line from us, averages farm land selling from 1,000 an acre, and up.No state income tax here, or tangible tax on vehicles, but you can still buy land reasonably priced up there that's got some great soil.
