Weekend results: Ho hum
The 2.4 acre pieces look pretty nice, but the neighbor says they don’t perk. A previous would-be buyer tried in a bunch of places, and none of them worked. Minor issue. I’m fairly certain that I want indoor plumbing in my dream house.
We drove out and looked at the 12 acre piece again. What would we do with all of that pancake-flat flood plain (probably 8 or 9 acres of it)? Can’t rent it to somebody with horses because of the covenants. Wonder if we could lay out a soccer field and rent it to local teams? Probably there’s something in the covenants against that too. The view of the gray siding houses is not very inspirational - or avoidable, as the house site would be up on a high hill, the gray houses are up high as well. Even leyland cypress would be hard-pressed to grow high enough to block them. Plus it would take a thousand of them.
Did I mention the insanely tall transmission tower that’s on an adjacent parcel? It’s very thin and relatively non-obtrusive, really. Presumably they’re pretty sure it won’t fall over, as it would reach quite a ways.
