We're going to look at three places on Saturday. This is the only one I've seen the exterior of. Wonderful location on a fairly quiet road with only two neighbors in sight. We'll have to test the air a bit to see if we mind that one of them is a farm that sells pigs. Although my foodie husband sees that as a plus since he'd like to try raising a pig. And the pictures on the site disguise the fact the the rear of one of the barns is pitched at a 30 degree angle and about to collapse.
This is a good time to discuss our Village/Country debate in more detail. Until Dan was eight he lived about a mile from the above house and has very fond memories of he and his friends roaming the fields and woods like extras in a Lil Rascals movie. Then they moved into the village where they shared the street with two sororities and had to deal with drunken frat kids making a ruckus on their way home from the bars. And once vomiting in Dan's unlocked car. WHY!!!!! But seen from the Mom's perspective, being in the village means not having to drive the kids home from after-school practice and being able to walk to the store/library/playground. So in addition to the above house, we're going to look at this ranch that's only a few blocks from the school.

That is a tough decision, but both options sound heavenly to me. Mark grew up in Lebanon, CT. Very, very rural. He also has tales of roaming around the countrside and woods when he was a kid. They even had a goat, a pony, two geese, and chickens.
The village sounds do nice too, as long as you are far away from frat houses.
The choice will probaby be easier when that house of your dreams pops up!
