After we moved over here in 2004, we began casually looking for land. We'd look at the listings on the internet. Everytime we were out and they had real estate magazines, I'd pick them up and peruse through them and we'd look at the newspaper listings. Then after we found something interesting, we'd go look at it and hike if it really interested us.
We found a beautiful 80 acre piece north of Gainsville, MO. It is in the Almartha community. We originally went with the real estate agent and looked at it and went back the next weekend and hiked around it. It is completely fenced and has two ponds on it. It is about 60% open and 40% wooded. There are some beautiful views from the hill top.
Then as we hiked around it, we found some very interesting rock formations in the woods. I thought it would be a wonderful place to take photos of people! If you look very closely, you'll be able to see that the rock looks like a bench; it is open underneath it.
It is gently rolling with lots of lush grass and we could just visualize our cows happily munching along.
It even has an old homeplace on it! I can only imagine what it was like living in that house!
But alas.....this wasn't to be the retirement farm. We realized it was too far from the lake. We really like to fish and wanted to be closer to the lake. So......the search began again.
If you are looking for a wonderful place......this one is for sale. 80 beautiful acres...it is quiet and serene with beautiful views of the surrounding farms. The taxes are low...$28 per year.....can you believe it? If you might be interested....contact me!
Have a great day and hopefully you'll not have too many problems with the weather!
