A big hey girls! I need some help and hope ya'll can guide me in the right direction. I am relocating and we are trying to decide between West Viginia or Tennessee - This is what we are looking for - at least 10 acres (want some woods)at least 3 bedrooms, two baths and outbuildings - need room for all my 9 dogs and need a large workshop/garage and some other small buildings - This is all happening very quick so if you know of someplace, tell me quick - also if you are from either of these states, sell me on what makes your state a good place to live - I am gettin out of Jersey YIPEE!

We live in SE-Middle TN and it is Lovely here!! Lots of clay soil and rocky limestone but other than that a wonderful place to live. I think WV is pretty but other than that know nothing of it. Best wishes!!

Husband Dear grew up in WV, and we lived in Middle Tennessee right after we got married. I'd vote for Tennessee, probably the eastern side, where the mountains are. WV, in a sweeping generalization, is a hard row to hoe place to live, unless you live in one of the cities, I think. Less money to be made there. It beautiful, but in a lot different way than Tennessee is... I think it is beautiful in a harsher way.
Good luck!

well, chile .. just last week .. our nearest neighbor's house and 40 acres sold to a family from west virginia .. i think it was about $150,000 for ALL ... i understand they have horses and a 15 year old boy. we're looking forward to having them as neighbors. i hear they are originally from MARYLAND! he found it on the internet .. but i'm not sure how?
there is a teeensy little house at the bottom of our road (with ten wooded acres) .. house needs lots of work .. but i think it is all less than $40,000.

oh my..that is very reasonable pricing...gee you could still be ahead even if you had to tear down the house and build a new one.

It is in Bedford County. I will look at yesterday's paper to see who it is listed with. I am off to dance class now and will be home mid-afternoon if I cannot quickly locate the paper!!
OK, found it:
From the Tullahoma News, classified section:
5.3 lovely acres S. Bedford County with 1780 sq.ft. open plan modular home. More but it looks to be owner for sale: 931-695-3080
Also: in N. Moore County 12.72 acres. Owner again 931-695-3080
Tennessee Land Sale: 5 or more acres. By owner financing
888-846-8703

Hope this helps!!

Just have to put in a plug for our area, Kathy... western North Carolina is beautiful. I'm in the foothills of western NC (Rutherford County, about 45 miles east of Asheville). Land here is pretty reasonable (at least it looks it to people coming from where land is much higher). Check out this site: http://usamls.net/rutherford This is everything that's listed around here.
Good luck finding something, somewhere!

My God it is killing me to think of leaving the deer - my marriage is not good anymore - I am unhappy here - that is why no one has seen much of me - I am going to cry just thinking about it. But I met a wonderful man who would do anything for me and this may be my last chance at a good life...... I feel like a little rag doll (one of Frannies Chillins, torn in two) I really could use some support from my farm gal friends- maybe I should just head on over to MaryJanes and she will take me in - I can earn my keep.
Love
Kathy who will always live in her Enchanted Wood with her Rose Colored Glasses on

I will pray that you can draw strength from within, and create a life of your own that nourishes you. Take care. Pray for wisdom, and do not let your heart believe that this is your last chance at a good life. You are your own person.
Peace |

Kathy, what little bit of contact we have had from one Jersey girl to another, this is NOT your last chance at a good life! You are STRONGER then that, SMARTER then that and DEEPER then that. You may feel like a rag doll, feel like you've been kicked around and unhappy but....... make this new man a PART of your life NOT your lifeline. Let him add to what you already are, a strong, independant, smart, wise woman. Congrats for getting out but get out for the right reasons. Good luck & keep your head up. Michele

Kate, the east is very expensive to live, at least where I am. I do think it is cheaper in the southeast but thats getting higher also. Jersey is one of the most expensive places to live and not the prettiest anymore.

Kathy,
So sorry to hear of your problems, but you're doing something about it and heading in the right direction. I vote for Tennesse, but if I could I'd like to be Frannie's neighbor in Kentucy!!

I have lived in KY, TN and NC and love each of them for many reasons but always end up in TN too but I am from TN and family is here. Not sure where I would go if free choice was available. happy in TN though!!
