As many know for the last few years things have been turbulent to put it mildly. We've been looking at purchasing a home with some land for a multitude of reasons, one being the ability to get everything of mine in one place that I own and control.

After looking at dozens of houses over the last few years, we finally ended up having a deal go through and we take possession of our new home on Jan. 27th. It's a huge relief and also a mixture of other feelings.

While it didn't meet our exact needs, it did check off numerous large items we wanted collectively.

So theres a 24x30 garage with a second story, a 16x32 stable, 10 flat dry acres that when I approached the township I can build on 9.65 of.

For this coming year I'll get the garage set up so I can use it, I'll retrofit the stable for storage of my tractors and I'll get the property cleaned up and decide where im going to put a barn/shop.

I took some pictures today while doing our walk around.

Way-ta-go! Looks like this property is ideal for you. Congratulations!
 
Watching you "grow up" over the last 12 years has been a long feel good experience. I'm super happy for you and your girl. You've earned your progressions. Congratulations!
 
Congratulations. I have always wanted 10 acres with woods, running water, three bay shop and a ranch style house for easy maintenance.
 
Big time congrats from the Motor City!
 
So happy you guys found something! I can not wait to see what you do with space and all your cars in one place.

Looks big enough to hold The Real Guy Garages 1st annual Car B Que.
 
Oh, that's going to hurt.
Id rather an extra hour a day commute then living in the absolute dumpster fire that is the city and suburbs.

At this house my neighours are too far from me to be a problem, theres nearly no traffic other than during the harvest.

Im willing to sacrifice an hour a day for my own sanity.

I too live on an acreage (almost 16 acres) and you have to drive on gravel for 1-1/2 miles before driving up the 0.2 mile driveway.

Any delivery of a large package is dropped off at the road and I have to pick it up with my neighbors skid steer.

I have a generator, a well and 2 1000 gallon propane tanks.

It is great!
