Today we went & checked out two beautiful acreage's. One 25 acres that is zoned as conservation land, It was really just 25acres down hill full of aussie bush & i doubt you could get a building permit through on it, pitty because it was beautiful. The other was 40acres & you need a boat to get there, its right on the river front, a little more cleared land than the other one although it is still hilly. Plenty of water around & solar power probably wouldn't be a problem there, its facing north. Rocky is totally in love with the second property, its only about 300k out of our price range! better go & buy a lotto ticket!!!
I think we really need to be clear about what we want. If we are looking at an acreage we would need to build a house on it (definitely cant afford one with a house already there!). Or we could get just a block with a beat up house on it & renovate (both our dads are builders - lucky them!). lots to think about! ill upload pics of the second property in a couple of days, we are staying down in Sydney tonight at a friends house so i haven't hooked the camera up.
I'm off to the Parenting Australia expo tomorrow, hope there's some cloth nappies there!!!
