[QUOTE="Hasbeen, post: 277213, member: 3220"] Interesting discussion. This is something I've wrestled with ever since we acquired our place almost a year ago. There are no houses on the property and the nearest neighbor is almost a half mile away although there is a state highway that runs along the length of the property. We live 14 miles away and every evening when the chores are done and it's time to go home I hate to leave. I often will spend several minutes at the end of the day sitting in the truck and daydreaming about how nice it would be not to leave, not to have to load up all my tools and haul them back and forth, and to be able to spend time there when the work was finished. My wife and I have discussed building there many times. However, I'm nearly 52 now and my wife is in no way a farm/ranch type person. If anything were to happen to me, she would be stuck there alone or would have to sell it to move. The place has been in her family for nearly a century and I hope to leave it to my boys. As I said, it's isolated and pitch dark there at night, no place for an older city gal alone. If only I could be guaranteed another 20-30 years! :D [/QUOTE]
