Real estate update

As I mentioned in this post earlier in the year, C and I were in the market for some property up in Wisconsin. A couple of weeks ago, we made a quick trip up there to check it out. The nearest town (population of about 1,000) was 10 minutes or so from the property. It was wooded (though not as much maple, birch, oak as we expected) and it certainly was "rolling hills". Nice road leading into the property, gravel roads within (that will be paved). Saw lots of deer and turkey. Location is about 5 minutes or so from 2 state parks, 1 state forest borders the property and a national forest is also close by. 4 golf courses (ranging from a 9-hole course to a 27-hole course) within a 15 mile radius. A sportsbar in the town that supposedly Brett Farve (who owns hunting and fishing property in the area) regularly frequents. Numerous "supper clubs" (a staple of northern Wisconsin - though if you ask anyone from there what one is, they can't really tell you) in the area. We ate at one of them on Saturday and we were the talk of the place. "What are folks from Dallas doing up here this time of year"?

We really liked the area and the property and made an offer on 2 lots (about 7 1/2 acres). Our offer was accepted yesterday, so we are now officially land barons!
