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.

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!![/QUOTE]

$1,800/acre and strippers! I'm in!!

O heck yeah!
