Update: Search for the farm

     We still haven't found the right farm, though we keep looking. We did come very close to ending the search when we found an old farm house down in Georgia. There were about four acres of cleared land and another four acres of forest. It seemed perfect. There were three outbuildings and an old farm house that was built in 1920. We made an offer on the property and it was accepted. We had a home inspector come and inspect the house. He found there were problems with the roof and post beetles. The offer fell through and we were back to searching. After that, we found a parcel of property in North Carolina. It was over nine acres of partially cleared land with over 1,000 feet of creek frontage. This was also perfect, but we couldn't get financing for land without building a house. We continue to see farm after farm as we keep hoping we will find the right on. We will find it, it's just a matter of time.
