80 acres for $8,500? Absolutely!

Thanks for the video, I have been looking for a little piece of land of my own. It's like having a little country of your own, real freedom. I'll check out the website, thanks again...

Is that the interior of one of the garages you started with. It it is, awesome renovation.

classy64jas, This is the second house. I abandoned the first house after I purchased the second 40 acres because I wanted a house in the center of the property.

I checked that site u posted and u really got lucky and a good deal cuz all the other propertys even in MN were in the Millions..I looked nationwide and even w/the economy like it is, everything is still pretty expensive, even the land w/o a dwelling on them...so feel LUCKY, lol

Can u call 911 and get an ambulance out there if ur having a heart attack or a bear runs u up a tree? lol...how long does it take them to find ya?

Yep we have 911 service out here. It just takes about a half hour for them to get here. I had a runin with a poacher once and had to call 911. I timed them at a half hour.

if you dont mind me asking what state do you live in???

i looking to change states

I live in northern Minnesota. It's pretty cold in the winter and the summers are cool, but I hate hot weather so it suits me I guess. :)

what sort of temp extremes. here where i live in victoria australia in winter it gets down to about -2 overnight, about 30.f. the day time sees about 15.c/60.f.
summer can be extreme we had over 105.f for 2 weeks.

i should start growing things more. my chili some of which is still growing covered from frosts.

I use the Balsam Poplars for my timbers and post and beam framing jobs.

I can't remove any underground vegatative growth or the bog will swallow the area. The poplars aren't any good for dimension lumber but for timbers they are awesome.

Good plan. I inherited my patch, maybe I should expand.
