Talk about a dream home. Congrats!

Thats awesome! i just couldnt be that far away from the water!
|
Beautiful place, whereabouts in Arkansas?
|
Wow..... would you consider adopting me.
Great looking home and setting on the hillside. |
Thank you all! Every time we go look at the progress Im in awe. We have always lived with in our means, saved saved saved and we never touched our investments and now its time to hatch this nest egg.
We chose N AR to stay as close to the Gulf as possible and be into some mountain's (I grew up in the lake Tahoe area) as well the land is beautiful and cheap, we paid 1800 an acre sitting on 10acres as far as being far away from the water, it was tough, but Ill make my trek every couple of months, stay a week or so, maybe more in the winters. I will have Bull Shoals lake, and Norfolk within mins, as well the Buffalo and white river. Norfolk and Bull Shoals have strippers!! |
Thats a great price on land! i just paid 12k an acre here!
|
I've been to the Yellville area, near Bull Shoals Lake, a few years ago with my old man to pick up a Jeep. Absolutely beautiful land out there. The guy we bought the Jeep from was a real estate agent out there and we got to talking about property in those parts because we saw a lot of for sale signs on the way in. I couldn't believe the prices compared to prices around here. I said I wanted to do exactly what you are doing when I retire. Hopefully some of that land is still untouched and still available then. I am jealous!
|
Nice place. My wife and I are trying to decide what we are going to be doing in a few years. Once the youngest is off to college in 3 years we are thinking of doing something similiar. A huge hold up for me is being away from the coast and the water. We travel a lot and every time I go somewhere we try to decide if it's a place we could live but I always feel drawn back to Louisiana and the coast.
|
I'd like to have a mountain home cabin and keep my place in South LA. That's a beautiful home you having built.

Beautiful! I'd love to have a place in the mountains and a place on the coast. For now I'll have to settle for visiting family!

Looks like a good place to retire! Beautiful home

Marty, give a shout if you want to hit the White River. I range from Calico Rock to Norfork to Cotter. I can also be found in Bay St. Louis, MS and the Biloxi Marsh for the big ones.

I have fished the White, from the dam down to about Gastons, as well Georges creek, and Clear creek? Once we get moved up there Ill have to buy another boat for the river, Ill keep my bay boat for the lakes as well when I go to the gulf. Been to Calico Rock once, nice little town! |
Used to be able to catch nice small is right in Yellville under the bridge in the park. Had to fight the cotton mouths for them though. Let me know if you need help or info on selecting a river drift boat.

Oh Ill be looking for a boat soon, whats a decent boat run price wise? I was surprised that most of those boats are runnin a 20 hp or less. I did notice that they use a section of chain as the drift anchor off the front end, never seen that before. |
Wow! That's beautiful man! Hope I can one day do this

Man that is beautyful. Glad for you to see the fruits of your labor!!
|
Wow, just wow! That is the very definition of serenity. Judicious removal of a few trees on the downslope will give you a stunning year round view. Is this the thread where you will announce the date of the housewarming party? If so, I'll subscribe.

Now that the winter is over they have started back on our house, here are a few pics of the railing just installed

Very awesome! I've been to that area twice. Made a couple week long canoe trips on the Buffalo River up the White River. Very beautiful out there, congrats!
