Hi! My name is Erik and I am drawn to your post. Birds of a feather flock together. I find myself alone now and days. It seems like there's no birds of my feather. It's depressing.and time goes by fast to fast. I moved to AZ from San Jose CA to AZ to buy land for a homestead. Growing up in big cities all my life didn't match who I am as I got older. I look ahead and plan for the future. I love nature and find it beautiful. Long story short after doing my do diligence on some properties in AZ it seemed like there was to many rules and laws that make it feel like you don't own your own property to feel free to be in control of your own home. Add the drought and Colorado river shrinking was the straw that broke the camel's back. You can't have a homestead without water. So I went to the drawing board looked at land for sale. I didn't want anything dependant on the Colorado river and I heard there's a lot of crime in NM I looked and found something that matched in the ad what sounds perfect. So I bought it. It's in Texas. I've never been to Texas, never heaven drivin through it. Fast forward it's been 4 years ago as of Jan 30 that I purchased it and I still haven't gone to it. I bought it when I had a relationship life was complete it was for our future home to build together. I wasn't her dream ànd she already in the past lived in Texas didn't want to live there so she left. In my heart's and belief home is where the heart is. No heart no home so I haven't gone to it. Nevertheless I need to go and make sure there's no squatters on the property before 5 years or I risk loosing it. It sounds like your on the way. I would be nice to talk. I would love to hear your adventures and beliefs and thoughts dreams. Msg me if you have some time.
