Gotta get out of NJ - TN bound...?

[Mitchell Andrus]

Looking on the 'net for acreage and maybe a house with a bathroom and kitchen or something (does the shop come with a house?) My youngest has 2 years H.S. left, then I'm outta here. I want to go where I can make a left hand turn. Gotta go before I loose my sense of humor.

Perhaps 5 to 25 acres, 3 bed, 2 bath l'il farmhouse, a 20 x 40 foot outbuilding or space for one. No neighbors, long driveway, view perhaps.

Chattanooga area.

Patience....

Mitch, your best bet for acreage with a view and no neighbors nearby is in New Mexico. Don't write us off until you've checked us out.

Are you telling us that you don't like 8 million of your closest friends living in your backyard??? (To quote Vaughn).

Nance,

NM is a little TOO far, I have family in SC, MY, NJ. I really like all of the people that I know and have fun with, it's the other 7,999,940 that I don't want to stumble over on the way to buying groceries that annoy me.

I've been told you need to bring you're job with you when yoou 'go down south' - mine's portable.

Mitch, that's Five minutes of my life you cost me, poking through google trying to figure out what in the heck is the state of "MY".

I know I'm just an ignorant Canuck, but I really thought I would recognize all the state shortforms... but I was doubting myself.

ps: No neighbours? good luck, there's always neighbours. The thing you want are good neighbours. Wish I had more of them myself.

Mitch, if you are really serious about moving to Tennessee, let me suggest that you avoid Chattanooga like the plague. It's at the intersection of two major interstates, both on the way to Atlanta, and the congestion there is horrendous. (FYI, I'm a Tennessee girl, bred, born, and reared.) If you are serious about wanting views, few neighbors, and acreage, check out Middle Tennessee, east of Nashville, around Cookeville, Crossville, and down in the Tennessee Walking Horse Country. You'll fine acreage and some of the most beautiful country you will ever want to see. It's close enough to Nashville for day trips, yet far enough away to satisfy your need for seclusion/privacy/hermit-itis(?).

Oops,... NY.

[Mitchell Andrus]

That's just the kind of feedback I needed. Thanks.

Yep, Joe. Been to most all of them. Some good, some bad, some very outdated. Except for a 'scale of magnitude', some of these sites are awful. The problem with most is that there isn't enough traffic in the 'sticks' to support a decent realtor's office.

Can't blame ye for wanting to leave NJ. Tennessee is a good choice. Why, it is almost as nice as Arkansas.

It's 26 for a high today, snow flurries in the air, we will have snow until about May. The Packers won again on Sunday, what more could you ask for? We really do like it here, my husband actually is a County Highway Worker (plows all that snow every morning at 3:00 A.M.)!! We ski, snowboard (ok, the kids do that), and the guys in my husband's hunting party love to see a snowfall right before deer season.

Have a great day, Phyllis (Originally from Chicago)

NICER, Frank, NICER!! Tennessee has better roads and higher mountains, but I think the hillbilly count is just about even.

It was cool here last night. Saw a bunch of turkeys in the yard when I got up. Temp is in 60's now. Typical winter day for ARKANSAS.

How about PA much better then the communist state of NJ. We have a house in Tioga Co. 11 acres boarders state forest on 4 sides nice and quite. Right now it takes 4 hr to drive from Philly. Retire there in 4 years.

Mitchell,

You're a man after my own heart. I was born 'n raised between exits 129 and 88. Couldn't wait to leave. Once the kids were out of school I headed west. Never looked back, no regrets.

Good luck!
