How many people want to live out in the country

[Juiced4v]

I live in the city but on 2 acres of land...I get the best of both worlds...no true traffic or city noise..

Grew up on a ranch between Rockwall and Royse City. As a kid I hated being away from the city where most of my relatives lived. How in my mid 30's I wanna go back. Its quiet, peaceful and you don't feel like people live on top of you.

When the time is right, yes. We did almost 10 years ago and weren't ready. It is a lot of time and effort to wrangle land in Texas.

I'll buy something in the mountains, but won't relocate until later.

2 miles from Sanger, 10 minutes to Denton and 1/2 mile to lake Ray Roberts.

I grew up on 5 acres, it was nice. A pond and plenty of land, could go out "back" and shoot. I would like to eventually pick up some land raise some livestock and have plenty of room to grow my own food. The only draw back for me is being so far away from the store and restaurants for when we want to go out. It is bad enough living in town in Greenville. All of the fun stiff is nowhere close

I wouldn't mind living further out. We are in Haslet now on a 1.5acre lot in a very quiet community. We are close enough to Fort Worth, Saginaw, Keller, etc but still able to sit on the porch and not hear the highway or other typical city noises.

I would visit the country but wouldn't live there.

Yes, very much so. I loathe the city but the wife does not.

I'm married to work at this point and I love what I do and our office needs to be located where it is (just outside downtown/uptown).

Only thing that keeps me sane is: between my parents,siblings, and I we have 6.5 acres with two houses walking distance to Lake Whitney. My deer lease is two minutes from my front door step down there. And the owner of my company is one of my good friends and he has 70 acres across the highway from our house down there. If we weren't down there often I would go nuts. I hate the city and have for the last 5-6 years.

I was raised in North Richland Hills, right off Davis Blvd on a farm, before any of that crap that is currently there, was.

My family had chickens, cows, horses, possibly a donkey (can't remember) and grew all sorts of stuff.

Plus a 1965 Mustang and a 1956 F100 sitting in the back of the field in a barn. Both sold for almost nothing.

I'd love to have a place I can shoot skeet off my back porch and have a 4 wheeler to ride around on.

I'm assuming Colorado, which mountain or area?

Yes, but not until my kids have graduated high school. My wife and I have already discussed this and she is on board, so I think I'm good to go. My family has a "Texas Century Farm" in Rains county. My grandparents lived there, and now my parents are retired and live there. I have fond memories of visiting and playing on the farm growing up, hopefully my kids are gaining those as well. If it was JUST me, I would live on the farm now, but I prefer the suburbs for raising my kids (the same way I was raised). IMO they get the best of both worlds. They are only 40 minutes from the farm so we go alot, but they are in the 'burbs with nice schools and access to lots of friends and things to do.

I would move in a heartbeat but my wife is absolutely against living in the country; she watches too many movies and thinks she will get axe murdered "out there".

Id like 5-10 acres in the city....not going to happen but that would be my goal. I like space but not too far from work/food/friends

[Forever_frost]

I kinda already do, but I wouldn't mind being further out.

This is where I'm at. No neighbors but I can see fields being put up for sale so I'd like to move further into the sticks. I can go shooting at 2 am, blast music while breaking things on my truck at 4:15 am and get the urge to build a storage building over the weekend without permits or permissions.

My best friend has lived in the same area as me (Lake Texoma north of Whitesboro) since the 4th grade. We are in our early 30's now. He got married @ 24 to a girl from Mansfield, my old neighbors, growing up, grand daughter. She hated living in the sticks, just as her mother had. Her mom and dad lived in my area after they married and she was a city girl as well. I agree with Baron's remark, if she's not 110% onboard, she'll like not be happy. An ex-girlfriends dad once told me "You can live unhappy, but you can't live with an unhappy woman".........

That being said, I've never lived in the city, can't imagine living in the city, and glad I grew up where I have.

I call these my back yard, generally a couple minutes away from any of this.
