1 hour north of Grand Rapids. Let me know if you ever are in the area and want to buy land. I have a whole laundry list of "what not to do's".

Wow, the place looks great! How far north in Michigan are you (if you don't mind me asking)?

Oh gosh, I wouldn't know where to start. To take your time when looking for a piece of land. It is harder to buy a piece of land that isn't the way you want it and change it versus waiting and buying the right piece of land.

Thanks Pork, I will keep that in mind when we get ready to start looking. I appreciate it.

interesting, I think the opposite, I think it's cheaper to find a sub par piece of property and mold it into what you want, it is a lot of hard work for sure, we still haven't gotten everything completed on ours

We will definitely be looking for land on the cheap. While it needs to be tillable soil, beyond that, if it needs amending, yours truly will be providing the sweat equity to change it. We are on a tight budget.

K, I see your point, but there is only so much you can do with certain kinds of land. I like where we live now and I'm not trying to change it too much, but the high water table isn't the greatest and there isn't much I can do about that. Also, we only have ~6" of topsoil and then all sand. Amending the ground and adding to it would be an arduous process. I bet if I looked around I could find similar sized acreage with amendable land for the same price, although there are always trade offs. I bet it wouldn't be as secluded, etc.
jonathco -- any specific area in MI you are looking at?
