In Search of Our Acreage Dream Home

My Acreage Dream Home
Well, our current home has been on the market for just over a week now.  We've had 7 showings so far without so much as a nibble.  But, with so many other houses for sale in our area, I'm not the least bit surprised.
In between the never-ending cleaning and tidying, I've started searching the property listings for our next home.
We're looking for a small, private acreage (around 5 acres), close to where my husband works.  
As soon as I saw this property, I fell in love!  It's a little bit over our price range, but, just look at this place!



















We could just move in and enjoy!
But, hubby thinks it makes more sense to buy a beautiful piece of land and start from scratch.  We'd be able to create our very own version of a dream acreage, all brand new and for a lot less money.

But, it would also be a lot of work.  We'd have to choose and clear the building site, create an access road and driveway, drill a well, install a septic system, build the house, add landscaping and fencing, and the list goes on...


At this point, it's anybody's guess what we'll end up doing.  Which option would you choose?
