It's time! The family and I are heading out tomorrow to look at some possible homesteads. It's both exciting and nerve racking. There are so many things to consider and so many possibilities for our future. After years of renting I am so chomping at the bit to get in to a home of our own.
In our area, property prices are fairly high. We need to find the right balance between house and land without breaking the budget. We want to be fiscally responsible and that may mean opting for less land in the end. I am not sure how I feel about that. I definitely see chickens in our future and bees as well. I want fruit trees and a large, large, large vegetable garden. These are all things that I think can be squeezed on to an acre but of course it depends how the house and environs are laid out.
The internet search engine, MLS, can be deceiving. What looks like tonnes of land is actually...er...not so much. However I don't want to get too much land that we can't keep up. My husband has physical limitations and I am often busy with the kids and my own school work.
In the end, I know we will find the right house for us. Something in the country, surrounded by nature and the very best part, it will be ours!
