Rural, farm, suburbs, small town, small city, big city, etc.? I live in a housing development in an agricultural rural area.

I have a home in a small town surrounded by bush,and I have three cabins out of town in the bush. I use them all.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Our home is on 3.5 acres, and we have four other families with 3 to 5 acres each in our little back road area. We are surrounded by corn/bean fields all around. Pretty open area but sure is quiet. We are just outside the town of Firth, Nebraska. A little town of about 650 people. Just right. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Thirty-some years ago I built a place on ten acres within a village twenty-some miles out from Minneapolis. It was surrounded on the: - north by a creek bluff
- East by a huge "park reserve"
- South by farmland
- West by a bit of farmland and more bluffs
Today I look out my south facing windows and see siltation fencing just waiting to contain hundreds of yuppie wannabe city slicker housing units.

Everyone has at least 2 acres...and no 2 houses the same..cul de sac on both ends.
Zoned ag...so we can have a few sheep and chicken.
No street lights...no town water or sewer
6 minutes from the interstate
Close enough for take out Chinese,pizza, other restaurants ,beer and wine.
Can pee off the back porch...shoot my bow and throw knifes in the back yard (woods )
Catch fisher in my back yard...have deer but can't harvest them...lol..have turkeys,and the occasional bear. Very quiet and no trouble in the last 30 years

House sits on 52 acres with only 8 houses along the 8 or so mile long road. Can whizz off the porch in any direction I want. Pond within sight of the house as well. House is on the end of a dead end road. Seldom even has an airplane go over and 2 1/2 miles from Lake Enid. 7 or so mile from the interstate.
