I'm serious. A house would have to be absolutely perfect, have great neighbors, and be a very good deal for me to consider a normal acres or less lot size.
I'd get more than a few acres if I could afford it. Plenty of people around where I live now own hundreds of acres.

For most people, that just isn't an option. They'd either be looking at millions upon millions of dollars to do it, or an hour + commute, or some combination there of. Plus factor in the upkeep and the fact that you are typically going to be a long ways away from any sort of major civilization and the appeal of it drops even more for most people.

Check everywhere and everything. We didn't lift a throw rug until yesterday on the house we bought last week and there are 2 bleach stains on the carpet :|

I think I went to Home Depot a dozen times this weekend. There is no way I could do that if I didn't live 5 minutes from one in the boonies of upstate New York.

Yeah, but I don't mind a bit of commuting.

Interesting. Here in upstate NY, as soon as you get 10+ miles from the metro area of a city land is plentiful.

Cool but we are talking a stretch from Chicago up to Milwaukee, all land is way overpriced most of that way.

NY has high taxes, but at least housing is affordable.

I doubt the previous owner would have replaced the carpet because of this. Would you honestly have walked from the deal just because of a stain on the carpet? :roll:
