One just for a teaser

2. That wouldn't appeal to me

because I'm a city person. I've always been a city person and I suppose I'll die a city person.

You can be just as alone in a big city, maybe moreso. All you have to do is close the door.

4. You're right - definitely would not be for a city person.

I like space, fresh air, momma nature, etc.

So does my body - shoveling snow, dealing with gathering wood and water has kept me healthier than if I'd just been sitting in an apartment.

I'm a nature nut.

3. That's my kind of place.

I live next to miles of public land, have 6 acres of my own at the end of a private dirt road, and the next-door-neighbor still irritates me. Not quiet.

My dream house would be in the very center of a square mile of my own, surrounded by many more miles of public land on all sides. Inaccessible, out of sight, out of hearing distance.

5. Only got one neighbour within a mile.

.
.
.

I have not met him yet, but am told he is in his 70's, single and reclusive.

works for me!

of the view from my front porch early in the morning.

I own 28 acres behind me,

mostly surrounded by crown land.

That's a big Maple close to the house, and some other tree in front of it I haven't identified yet.



The above was taken close to the driveway facing the house and garages - yup - that's laundry on the line - got a washer/dryer - but momma nature does a better and cheaper job of drying this time of year.



Taken from the south, on top of a huge rock I intend to clean off





Taken from the west corner of the house, towards a clearing about an acre in size - Gardens and greenhouses next year! Still busy moving . . .



Facing East off my back deck





Facing south towards that rock I luv



same thing - just panned a bit.

T'was a beauty day . .

8. Very nice!

You are really lucky to have found that spot.

[ConcernedCanuk]

9. Thanks

.
.
.

and yes, luck certainly smiled on me.

It's so quiet here, except for momma nature, birds, wind, rain on the roof etc.,

Every now and then I stop/listen - sumthing's different - - -

NO TRAFFIC NOISE - none.

Rarely listen to the radio, some days music on the puter - no tv (don't miss it)

I'm just drinking this all in!

I got robins nesting nearby, and see them everyday. They really like my groomed yard!

Seen porcupine, black bear, racoon all within ten feet of my home.

The list will get longer . . .

Luv momma nature!

13. is that a deer outside?

i love that other winter picture with the snow. it's so beautiful (i love snow)

what made you want to move into such a reclusive spot?

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. yup - she's a deer

.
.
.

the other pic as she was leaving



Oh

and my present desktop

'twas so cold one morning my icicles got frost bit!



To your question what made me want to move to such a reclusive spot:

many reasons . .

I like space, the outdoors, nature - couldn't find 28 acres in town within my budget

Opportunity as well - this place came up for sale the same time I received an unexpected inheritance, so I jumped on it.

Having been a renter all my life, and dealing with landlords mostly not very nice people, I wanted no part of dealing with a landlord again.

one other wee thing,

my "dress code" would not be well received in town,

momma nature don't care

15. the photo of the icicles is wonderful!

(be careful they don't pull down on the gutters)

between the inheritance and the timing for the property going up for sale it sounds like you were meant to be there.

it's probably the perfect spot for a "creative" (artist, writer, musician--i don't know if you are but i'm sure those surroundings bring you inspiration or a sense of rejuvenation at least.)

you're very fortunate
