Missouri anyone???

[TanksHill]

So we have some cousins and an Auntie outside of Springfield. The Seymour / Mansfield area. Is anyone near there? Have you been there? Give me your thoughts of the area good and bad.

Thanks g

I live in north central Arkansas, but I travel to the Springfield area a few times a year. Until recently, I had relatives (an aunt and cousins, also) in the Mansfield area. It is a nice area. We had even considered moving there when we were relocating to the Ozarks.

West Central region represented here.

I guess there are not too many from Missouri ... or else they are hiding!

Are you thinking of moving???
Fine, leave me here in SoCal all alone......

You talking to me Dace? If I could I would buy some land in Mo. I have my eye on a 38 acre piece of land with a big winterized metal building on it and a pond. I am thinking about getting a part time job and buying it.

Our vacation this year was either Mo. or Yellowstone. Obviously we chose Yellowstone. Next year though for sure we plan a road trip to check out the area.

I have always wanted to go to Co. But dh thinks we should live near family. I have never been there though and really need to see the place.
So here we stay for now.

We would welcome you Tanks.

Thanks farm, you would be a great neighbor to have. Where abouts in Mo are you If you don't mind me asking?? I have a ton of questions about the state, growing seasons, native plants and what fruit trees do well.

I imagine I could find these things on line.

Wow Tank...how much is the 38 acres?
Taking on a part time job to make the purchase is a great idea!

Dace,
Land there runs the gamut. They have big beautiful homes on lg acreages for 3 to 4 hundred thousand dollars. But I look for stuff under 250,000. I actually go to the craigslist , Springfield and look under real estate. I also love to browse the United Country web site. I just type in the city my dh aunt lives in and a couple of the neighboring towns. I have spent many YEARS drooling over country lands.

I want to down size and after seeing some of the log homes on vacation last week I would love one with a big porch. It's hard though, I don't know much about Mo. Like I was telling Free, I have a lot to learn about the area. Are log homes good in the humidity. From experience I know purchasing a home with out buildings, barn, pond and established fencing would be easier.

One can dream!!!

Sounds awesome....my hubby would never go for it. You are lucky
