Need home with acreage in East Texas

[lwheelr]

Looking for cheap old farmhouse with 5 acres or more, no livestock restrictions, and a well. I have Crohn's (so do two of my kids), and have specific chemical sensitivities, so can't do a mobile home or newer home, and cannot handle city water. Fixer upper is fine, if structurally sound.

Actually, anywhere within about a 90 mile or so radius of Dallas is fine.

I've searched the listings every which way. Suspect what I need is not going to be listed through a realtor.

Is Maine close enough? http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7041

I think that might be a bit far for her!

Oh, the distance isn't the issue at all. I'd move anywhere to get what we need.

It is the growing season. Not sure if Maine would be much better than Wyoming - I've got to be able to grow year-round in an unheated greenhouse. A root cellar would help, but only partly.

It looks like it would meet our needs in every other respect though. *sigh*

I've been looking for so long I'm just so tired and ready just settle into a fuzzy blue funk and not come out.

It is so hard when you need something so badly, and it just doesn't seem to be there in the form that you need.
