Good is not cheap even here..I have a friend from the shore..2 actually who are moving here. I just got one fellow in touch with a rancher here who wants to retire. Not a great big place but a good one. It also was not cheap..but the guy pays 10-20 grand a year in state income tax so he is gonna save that and there are other things..The property tax is higher in Park County but his 90 acre place in Talbot County costs him a lot in property tax..the tax on the 800 acre place here is under 3 grand...less than 10% of there.. The other fellow is gonna be out here in about 10 days lookin for a place to buy..but he and his wife only want 20-50 acres.. As far as that guy you knew from the eastern shore.....You sure you made friends with him??LOL. If you can ever get out..come and visit..got plenty of room in the house...Hey I might sell ya that other place I have back there..Needs a pond for waterfowl..but Plenty of deer and a real load of turkeys. About 180 acres. The house on it ain't big but lots of room for houses if ya need a big'un. You ain't that far from retirin are ya. I did it at 47..you can too.

I am semi retired as it is right now at 39. We can easily live off of what my wife makes, but I still work because I enjoy it and it is nice to see a pile of money in our retirement accounts and the kids' college funds. Plus, it allows me to buy the toys (e.g., guns, bikes, tractors, mowers, farms). LOL

After I get this place in order, I'll be looking for a farm. Right now, I am just trying to make it out of tax season alive. I have way too many friends/clients that I just cannot say no to when they ask me to prepare their tax returns.
