And So it Begins

Now that Chris is back from the Earthship Academy, we're off looking for land.  We've spent a few months looking for a lawyer who can help us figure out the rules and regulations of the areas we might pick and finally found our guy: Adam Stone.  Not only is he a lawyer, he's also a realtor and I think that the combo is just heavenly for our project.

Adam sent us to look at a property in Lakeside.  I wasn't that into it.  I don't know if it was more the drive straight up a mountain then straight down the other side, the road noise, or the bushwhacking we had to do to even glimpse the land but for $100K, I had been hoping for something a little more... convenient.  

I don't think you can really see from the picture, but the land drops off suddenly just beyond a small point of green and that's just after the parcel starts.

Adam let me know that $100K was not going to get us convenience.  *sigh*

Saturday we went off to drive around Jamul and look at real estate signs.  We found this land that was pretty great.  It was already cleared and has a well.

And it is $235K.  So... we won't be getting that land.  We took a look at some other properties but nothing that really jumped out at us yet.

We are going back today to look some more.
