That's was part of the selling point. Just far enough out for piece and quiet, but a 6 mile round trip to the grocery store.
15 miles to the city and all the amenities.
The other big selling point was city water on the property. Well water in the area is sketchy. It's either high Sulphur content, or high iron content. The home's we looked at that had wells in that area all had high iron content.
Required a home filtration system and really poor water pressure.
The lot north of us can't be built on. It's in a bowl where all the water from the surrounding area drains too.
We have a 400ft buffer of oak trees between our build site and the 4acres being built on behind us.
And a cow pasture across the street.
Lot south of us is vacant field. And we can leave a buffer of trees for privacy. The people who own it have a house in the woods behind the field.
So no neighbors in site.
