Heaven on earth?

Long story short 2+ years ago my girlfriend and I went on our first date that lasted 6 days, we have a mutual dream of land (20+acres) and building a A-frame home. the date revolved around looking at lake front property in upper Michigan. Since then we have started looking all over the U.S. but i think I may have found Heaven in terms of lake front property, sadly I doubt we will never be able to afford such a view.

 

i have a similar dream of land. long time friend of mine lives in marquette. last year they bought a weekend/rental place just out of town on the lake. it's beautiful. not like your picture (which is a spot i wouldn't mind living out my days) but still awesome.

 

where is this? doesn't look like the US

 

Norway.

 

welp, see ya later USofA

 

Go to Montana and build there!

 

Took my wife to Lake Tahoe a few years back in the summer. She was really awestruck, wants to live there in the warmer months. Tell her, maybe some day, real estate crazy there, might get a single wide on our budget....

Views there are pretty sweet, not Norway but nice.

 

we looked a t nice 25acre parcel but is was only accessible by snowmobile in winter

 

I don't see any issue. get a snowcat! MORE toys!!

there's some nice lakes in north CO too. the Redfeather Lakes are nice.

 

There's a place like that in Bavaria, I cant remember the town though. The lake was an emerald green and clear down to about 40 feet.

 

Ive been thinking of this. I need to come out west to check it out. Wyoming or Colorado sound great also.

 

Nice but too small for what I am thinking and I would like to be able to shoot guns and hunt off the property.

 

It's beautiful, but all I see in an obstacle course for the truck or the sxs. Thats why I live out in the country rolling hills on 20

 

shooting? I have just the solution for you, we have PLENTY of cheap houses in Chicago next to vacant lots and your gun fire will blend in with the others . will the sound of ambulances going 24/7 bother you?

 

When I was late teens early 20's Chicago was fun but I asked my girlfriend how much of Chicago do we really take advantage off?...We can live somewhere else for a 1/3 the cost without the constant noise,taxes, high rent/mortgage and crime and treat the big city's as a tourist stop.

 

Alaska has fiords too...

 

I've got 5 acres and I hunt and target shoot. No neighbors. Off the grid...

 

There are covenants for that property that state no shooting guns or hunting. No houses smaller than 800 sq ft etc.

 

I have to have a minimum 600sq ft which isn't bad. I don't hunt much on my property but do a lot of target shooting and I'm only a couple miles from a nicely stocked reservoir. There are folks trying to ban hunting but getting some serious push back. 2nd largest elk herd in CO runs thru my property.

 

Isn’t the big acreage requires a lot of maintenance or not really?

 

i am sure you could find something that looked like that if you wanted to move to Alaska, that is a beautiful place.

 

Thats what I like to hear. The 2nd largest Elk herd going through your property part. They will never ban hunting. These folks have no idea the money hunters spend on conservation. How else do they think these populations grow. Take turkeys for example on the east coast, They were reintroduced and are no booming by me.

I might have to take a road trip out there next fall.

Sorry for being off topic.

As for Heaven on Earth I would have to say New Zealand is the closest I've seen with my eyes.

 

Do not come to Montana... we're full... I hear North Dakota is nice...

 

Im definitely ok with them too especially in that case.
