Forty Wooded Acres and an Old Train Car
This sounds like exactly the sort of place I'd love to own someday: not too far from the city, not crowded, with its own source of water and a neat relic from the past thrown in. My idea of a "vacation home" is
not some condo at the beach. It's somewhere quiet without TV, where you can kick back and relax, and you don't spend a lot of time or money getting there.
What I enjoy about this series of articles is the down-to-earth stuff like finding and installing a new pump motor for the well, and the GPS survey of the property lines. And cleaning the rat droppings out of the railroad car. (I enjoy reading about it, not doing it.)
