Hmm wish I could delete my past comments from 2012 maybe, not sure what specifically you're referring to though. I did read the rules now, none of it seems problematic. Maybe I should just make a new account.

No, your account is fine. old posts are kosher. PM inbound.

I think I should look for land down south, maybe near Nashville, IN or Brown County. Indianapolis is just too flat, too many houses, not enough trees.

Welcome back! I'm sure you're already prepared for how boring indiana will be once you've left and came back.

You know, it's not too bad. There's something going on every week that's interesting, but not something going on every night that leaves you feeling like you're missing out. The older I get, the less interesting going out becomes anyway ;P

You are right sir. As an example if one heads north toward Michigan City and the Indiana Dunes state park it is a different kind of view. Nothing like standing atop a sand dune and looking at the Indiana ocean (lake Michigan). It is a sight to behold. Just my

I have 50 acres of bottom land in southern Fountain county.
All 50 acres are natural growth woods.
When I'm in the middle of my woods, it's easy to imagine what it was like for the pioneers.
It's very easy to lose your sense of direction if you don't know the area.

The price of anything in or near Brown County is outrageous.

Seems like it's hard to find land that's both appealing and reasonably priced, or if you do find that it's 60 minutes from anywhere.

Are there natural creeks and elevation change around the property? I assume so if you describe it as "bottom land", which means it's near waterways or otherwise retains water, right? Everything feels awfully flat up north, but if you have 50 acres of old growth it's probably land that was unsuitable for farming, so maybe some nice water flows and escarpments.


Did you build on the property?
