WOW, Cheryl! I'm impressed. You couldn't get that property and buildings, etc., in Virginia, either, unless you were up in the mountains...and I'm not sure it could be done there. On the other hand, you're not in Saint Laurence County, are you? Michigan is supposed to be reasonable...parts of it, anyway...and some places in Ohio...but in most places I know of, you might get a tiny townhouse or studio apartment sized condo...but a private home? As I said...WOW!
