My offer on a cute house on a few acres has been accepted, and if all goes according to plan I'll be moving onto my
retirement homestead in May. I can't wait to start planting!!
But, i'm living 500+ miles away and don't have a feel for the area. Though I did spend some weeks camping there 20 years ago, and liked the area very much.
Now that I'm ready to settle there, I'm looking for
local under the table info---like where to find good Amish builders (and are the costs in the North Country that much better than downstate?), how strict local zoning is (i'm hoping I can get a cabin or yurt set up on the ridge above the brook), and maybe (or especially?)----are there any plans for a big smelly or loud factory or some other potentially obnoxious neighbor planned?
I'm going to spend Monday and Tuesday there, looking around for health food stores and the like lol.
Thanks!
