Wondering...

Wow - just found out the house next door to ours is going to be going on the market later in the Spring or early Summer - this is a parcel that was originally a part of ours but was surveyed off for the son of the original builder to have a family home built there. The son and original family having moved on, it is mighty tempting to buy it and 'put the land back together' - this house shares our driveway. We could potentially buy it if we sold our *other* house that we just moved out of and then rented it... it would mean having a big enough parcel (1 and a half acres) that we could possibly have our retirement in its value for development...

Much as I hate the thought of development here, I can't help but think on it -- maybe 15 years down the road, with the way this part of the valley is going, it would make sense to let this be developed and use the money to move somewhere away from all the traffic.

Gah - I've never been a wheeler-dealer with things like this...a savings account is about my speed of safety in 'investments' - but I think we'll look into it. Argh...but what if, after all is said and done I simply cannot become a tree-killer? Do we end up donating it all for a nature park? So hard to envision this, even as a vague possibility that we don't even know if we can pull off.

As an activist in saving the rainforests I wonder,though I do not wish to know,for all trees are precious to me,was there not a house there before if so why would purchase of said land casue you to become a tree-killer?The part I do not want to know,very much is what type tree.Hope it works out for you,though if you are in a busy,highly developing area anyway,land is always a good investment.,,,H.Treeclan,waving at you!! :)
