Buying Land in Ohio

[CardiffBaseball]

Ohio is a great place but you have to have a certain willingness to stick out tough winters and hot sticky summers. Many summer nights are quite nice, the fall is great if you have trees though it’s a lot of work. I would personally pick somewhere where you can be close to either Cleveland/Columbus/Cinci or within an hour and a half. Land is still cheap but you have access to some of the bigger city comforts.

My wife has informed me if we win the lotto 3 of the 4 of us are moving back to Ohio, and it’s up to me if I’d like to be the 4th. I thought why not Olivenhain, and move everyone out here, but she disagrees.

If she wins the lotto, you can keep your winter home.

Truth be told, I live in East Bumfrig, Pennsylvania. It’s actually one of the most sought after places to live in the state, which is a matter of winning a tallest midget contest.

It ain’t bad though. Cost of living is cheap. Fantastic schools. I’m a college professor and have a very good life here. Do I miss California and all of its benefits? Of course, but we go back to visit frequently. Would I trade moving there for all of the hassles, financial and otherwise (my wife and I both walk to work)? Not unless it came with a LOT of money.

Why Ohio? That’s the opposite end of the country? If it comes to the point where you need sustainable lifestyle to survive, you might find that you have no means of getting there. And if you do get there, you might find your land squatted by a bunch of New Yorkers with guns.

May I suggest Utah? Not nearly as wet as Ohio, but you get measurable precipitation, you can concoct some sort of rainwater reuse system, there are other tricks. You can get there on one tank of gas. Average January low in Cedar City UT is 19 F.

Another classic sustainability destination is Montana, it’s cooler in summer and it gets more rain. But you’d be basically living on top of a supervolcano. Wyoming is a no-no for the same reason.

Thanks everybody for your responses. I grew up in Ohio, so I know how cold it is. Yes, it is doomsday posting….but it seems that to be prepared is better than NOT being prepared.
