We currently have a place that's close in size as yours. Unfortunately our area is up for development with 7 monster home being built this year alone in our area. So it's no surprise we were bought out by overseas investors. We wanted out of the city we currently live in, as the drivers are insane, and were just tired of it in general. We've wanted to live in another city around 1 hr drive from here in a certain area of it for many years, and it's no fun, when you are living in a high development area, never knowing when you are going to be bought out.. We were able to get into area, land and home we wanted, and it's within walking distance of both the elementary and secondary schools. We'll always be too far away from the Disney parks to make it viable to go to on a regular basis, but we love the new home, although the kids,especially my DS12, who's the stress magnet of the 2 of them is going to kill us, when they find out what we've done. I've already decided I'm heading back to DL after the family trip to WDW in Jan/17. My solo trip will be in Nov/17, but am still deciding on dates and how long I want to go for. There's enough room for DH to build a large shop on, and land for the greyhounds to play in. Can even have chickens, which DS11 will be in heaven over, as he loves chickens. It's going to be a fun move. Just spent alot of hours today arranging transfer of services. Ticked off we couldn't keep our phone# since we are moving out of our city. Such is the life of moving before Christmas. We never thought we'd be moving this close to Christmas, but to get the home we wanted it was worth it, as there's nothing out on the real estate market that's even remotely close to what we are looking for. This is what happens when you are looking for properties that are 1/10th of 1% of what's currently available on the real estate market right now.
