This May Be "IT"


View from a high point
Well, the offer on the previous land was rejected; I was pretty sure it would be. They want way more than we can offer, so we let that one go. BUT, as fate would have it, we may have found a better one! It's in a great location, right outside of Burnet, and 55 minutes from our house. Off of a paved county road and, like the other one, not directly on the road, but this one already has a rough road to it. It's a little over 14 acres, a little long and narrow, and has more neighbors than the other one, but it's also across from a huge national wildlife refuge which will limit future growth. It has too many cedars and not enough oaks, but more oaks than the last one for sure. The best part(s) - fantastic views and a fantastic price! AND, a windmill (swoon)! For some reason I'm just really attracted to windmills and desperately want one. It's priced at a very reasonable $109,000, so we're ready to go for it. After only two "dates" (well, three if you count the initial "drive-by" but we couldn't see the land on that one, only the area), we're putting in an offer. Although we're starting low to have some negotiating room, I don't think we should have any trouble getting this one. Keep your fingers crossed!
