luberhill Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So we have lived ( wife and me ) in a 1300 sf ranch on a half acre for 35 yrs .. Now we are looking for a 2000 sf ranch or two story on a bigger lot .. Seems like we are doing the opposite of wait people our age do . Im sick of neighbors Id love to find a 2000 st ranch on a 25 acre lot in the Fingerlakes area .. I know we are going to have to pay up and I’m fine with that.. We have no kids so I figure we may as well blow some cash instead of leaving it to someone This market is stupid right now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Ok, sounds like a good plan. Why 25 acres though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYTRPR Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Why stop at 25 ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneHunter Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 25 Acres is a nice size to retire to ! I would hesitate with the two story though and even stay away from a Ranch with a basement . Everything on one level is planning for when stairs are a challenge ! Just my old guy ( which I am) opinion ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
