I've been working on this for the last three months. I got my wife to go check out the area that I wanted to purchase some land - in Mississippi and she liked it
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
So we looked around at different properties and then looked again on a couple of more trips and we found what we were looking for.
I got the loan approval on a 10 year note and sent the purchase form in to the land agent.
So, now just have to send off the earnest money and get the thing closed.
Very happy - this is in central Mississippi, Montgomery County - 30+ acres of pines and hardwood bottoms. Just what we wanted. Its on a gravel road but only a mile off of the state highway, so good access, but off of the beaten path.
There's no cost for the county to put in a culvert and no charge for water or electric hook up - so starting costs are very low. Just need to get a bulldozer to make the road in and clear the home site.
This is going to be our primary residence in time - and I plan on slowly building the place up myself - starting with a "core" home that can be expanded - along with a barn, etc.. My goal is to build everything and pay as I go - like the Mexicans do

This way, when we sell our current home and move there - we'll be free and clear of debt - my ultimate goal. And we'll be living in an area that will allow for complete, off-the-grid existence if we want. The hunting is outstanding!
Can't wait

Of course, I'll put a shooting range on it - I've really missed having my own place to shoot - once you have that for a while you really get spoiled.
