That is the area I was most interested in.

I was reasonably sure, that when I purchased it, I paid too much. We weren't talking about a huge sum of money anyway. It was listed with a realtor, and had been for sale, for some time. I don't really know anybody in that area. With my profession, I knew some people I could call in the area to check out the property. They looked at it, and said it would fit my needs (a place to park a LQ trailer, and graze a horse, public land near by). I should have kept it, as I still myself doing that someday. I just can't imagine me actually going through with the plan, or taking time away from the farm.
What was appealing about that country to you?

Several things
I was only going to spend a short period of time there. Probably pull out, as soon as we got the Christmas decorations put away, and be back by the time my cows start calving in real late February.
I was going to stay on the little 9 acre lot in my Living Quarters trailer. Have access to water and electricity. Take in some riding on public lands, and hit a few ropeings. Mainly just wanted to avoid the mud here, and get away.
In my mind, it would have been a cheap winter home. I've wished a 1000 times I hadn't sold it.
Cost of living really wouldn't have affected me. Groceries and gas is probably all I would have spent.

Currently we operate a plumbing and excavation business here, are the job opportunities for this type of work plentiful in Texas? I would prefer to continue to operate our own business.
Looking to live in a rural area with good hunting and fishing over 100 acres and a good place to raise a family. All advice welcome. Thanks.

Just a personal opinion but Limestone county is one of the most depressing counties I've ever visited. I see nothing anywhere that looks like progresss.bird dog":3jjs2mrh said:SoILcattle":3jjs2mrh said:That is the area I was most interested in.
The area of central Texas where I ranch (Navarro county) is going up in price but not like around Austin or the DFW mess. West of Waco is more expensive than east.
Limestone county was mentioned and it is a good place to look around. Plenty of hunting and fishing opportunities in this area.
You are welcome to visit my place if your in the area. Look around on the Lands of Texas website to get some ideas. It has a good search function to help you weed out the "palatial estates".
Oh by the way, it is spring here so you better start planning. Summer starts in May.

(I always figured someone with a speech impediment named that town, meant it to be Texarkana but the way he pronounced it just stuck)
