  Buying that Perfect Small Farm

When I was in Florida last week, I met someone from Wisconsin, a place where I thought land was cheap. But he was telling me that land that was going for 8k an acre had popped up to 15-18k recently.

This has certainly blown my bubble about being able to move away from NJ. Down in FL where we usually rent a townhouse, 5 years ago the TH we stay in went for about $200k now its selling for $850k.

I certainly have not seen that type of appreciation on my house in NJ!

Bill,
Thats more like it. I have heard some good things on W V. Low taxes, low prices on small farms like you said.

I was hoping to spend no more than $300 to 400k max for a small farm. But the less the better.

But I still have young children and I am looking for someplace that has good schools. How are the schools where you are?

Vineland, I had a suspicion that it had to be in that sweet spot of NJ between Cape May and Wilmington that you must be talking about for those prices.

I have lived in NJ as a life sentence, and I have never been to Vineland, I had to look at a map to be sure where it was.

When I have flown over that area it looks like it could be intersting, can you seriously recommend looking there? Or is it more likely burial ground for Jimmy Hoffa? and a place to avoid?

bump

Just heard that NJ where I am has the most congested roads (no surprise), while SC has the best, where I am thinking of heading.

Any body know how the upstate schools are for Middle and High School?

Hi Randy,

I was really into getting to the "life in the country" with a small farm like you have 10 years ago when my kids were small. Over the years my desire for it decreased, probably as I saw how much of my time was consumed just taking care of the 5 acres I have now So Sad

Your story sounds like that old movie "Walking Tall", sorry to hear that it has become your reality!

Thanks for the update and keep us posted, best regards to you and your family,

Dennis
