Well, anyway- Maybe I'm nuts, but that place is not my dream home--it's just too sterile and museum-like to be a Home... to me. (sure, we'd live in it if that's what we had... it's just not our very first pick--)
I found one version of my personal dream home here in Meridian-- at a somewhat smaller price. (But for all practical purposes, it might as well be a million, because we simply don't have enough money for it at this point....)
Check it out if you want...
$130,000 for an acre of land (that's an ENTIRE acre, mind you... none of that 0.10 of an acre stuff...) with a cute little house-- a couple of bedrooms and a fireplace... Also a smaller side home (maybe to rent out to sisters or brothers for cheap, eh? or kick the kids out to when they're being too sassy?)
And a barn/shop. And a little stable area. (maybe we'd even get a horse or something?)
On an Acre of Land! This is exactly the sort of thing I'd love... enough land for a big garden.... maybe a bit of grass as well for us all to run around on.... not so much land that it's intimidating to take care of, but plenty to have have chickens and a big garden. (did I mention we'd like a BIG garden?)
True, it's kind of old- I haven't seen it except for driving past (ok, and pulling into the driveway and maybe daydreaming a little bit....) So maybe we should go check it out just so I can find a flaw with it so I won't think about living in the place anymore.
Anyway. I know since it isn't in our immediate reach, I probably shouldn't think about it at all. But then, if people never thought about future dreams they wouldn't ever become reality.
So perhaps some day we'll get our acre... somewhere...
I want land too. But I'm thinking more like 10 acres. I want about an acre of landscaped yard, a nice but not too big (I agree with the "sterile" comment) house, a big garden and a few acres of hay (to feed to our cows.)
