We're starting to think, talk, and plan, for purchasing our own property, one that would be suitable for homesteading and that also makes sense given the other dimensions of our lives, for instance, is reasonably close to our graduate programs and places of employment. One location that is receiving serious attention is the small "city" of Pine Lake, which, in the 1940s, was a quick country get-a-way for downtown Atlanta types, and now represents an odd, quiet, little community of bungalows tucked around a small lake, where properties are still affordable and little to no "development" seems to be indicated.
We want a home that is comfortable to live in (we're nowhere ready to build or even renovate anything ourselves), with yard and sun enough to sustain a garden that could supply all of our vegetables, a blueberry patch, and some fruit trees. Ideally, I would like a wooded lot adjacent to or at least nearby, as well. While we want to retain central heating, AC, electricity and Internet, etc., I would like to add-in a number of dual systems, such as cast-iron wood-burning cooking stoves, and ultimately solar panels and a composting toilet. First thing's first, though, we've got to make some progress on purchasing a property, whether in Pine Lake or elsewhere.
One property we're interested in is below, as it's likely attainable at a reasonable price (we hope) and there is at least one lot (maybe two) adjacent to it for sale also. If you would, please keep us and a great homesteading property like this in your mind!
