Rural living - the reality check
Wife and I are moving and considering making the change from city life to a piece of property. The move to a more rural property is an option where we’re moving - not a necessity. Urban life, in a community of ~40,000 is also an option. I’m going to check out a ~15 acre lot tomorrow with a 2 bed 1 bath house, two wells (1 drilled and 1 shallow) and septic approximately 10min out of town. The idea would be to eventually rebuild. Kids are expected in the future. I grew up in cities and towns - not always the biggest places but they all had municipal water and sewer. I know that a few of you live on rural properties. What is a reality check that might prove useful to consider when looking at making this sort of move? Obviously I’ll have to start wearing plaid and grow a beard. What additional wisdom do you have to share?
Rural living - the reality check
I would never live rurally unless I had enough acerage to protect myself from the ex cons, registered sex offenders and people that seem to migrate out there to live off disability. There are exceptions of course, but you really have to choose your spot wisely.
