[quote=svelte]Good points Eugene. We had thought we needed space so we bought an acre…ended up costing us $250+ a month for a gardner. I can’t remember what the water bill was, but it was high.
We sold and now have a smaller, more managable lot. If you pick just the right one, you can have as much privacy as an acre. We actually have *more* privacy now.[/quote]
interesting you said that. JtR actually mentioned very large lots as a deficiency and not a plus a few months back on a post regarding Magnolia Estate over at Bressi.
as to my earlier comment about overhearing the AC being on at 7AM. just something from someone else’s convo. location and direction of a house is important, what kind of a house is important too. VC is a big place as well.
