We're searching for 100 acres plus.
Ok, so in another thread I know a few of you said this was a tough gig. The thing is, where we can afford to buy is in Farming Zones...and there's that 40hectare ruling now for building. As it happens, DP has ruled out a small holding and is very keen on running steers on 100 plus acres. And I have more scope for breeding horses eventually, without getting grief from DP that we have no room.
We've found some in the Strzelecki area and there's one we'll look at in Korumburra. Feedback on these areas WRT childcare, schools, ABA groups, fire brigades, local shopping, live music scene, horse riding clubs, homebirth and BFing friendly doctors would be much appreciated! And how do you find travel time to Melb (well, outer east Melb)?
We're looking for vacant land so we can build a strawbale house, so it will be a while before we've built a shed to live in, even, so that we can begin proper building.
DS is very excited about the prospect, as am I.
