Hunting for ground

Don and I spent the week end hunting for farmground to buy to retire to.
Don wants to hunt deer and turkey. I would like a place in the country to picnic and camp and relax. Don will need some space to tinker with if he retires someday.
We both like 40 wooded acres near Ottumwa. It has no house or buildings and we would need a tractor to keep it up. It would make a neat camp ground with a park like setting of woods that could have walking pathes and it has plenty of deer and turkey. A new home could be built there someday.
Up the road just south of Eddyville is an 80 acres of timber but itis really rough with deep ravines and gullys.It has a couple of buildings and a pond and tons of deer and turkey tracks.
We have pretty much decided we don't want it.
There is an 80 acre farm south of Albia. We would like to see inside the house. It is small and has new siding and a roof with a two car garage. Also a shop and two other pole buildings.
It has two ponds and pasture and hay ground. It too would need a tractor.
There is enough room for an orchard, gardens and berry bushes.
It would keep us both busy mowing and keeping it up.
Need to see the inside of the house. before we can make a decision.
Oh the possibilies. it was a great weekend to go into the countrya nd look around.God is good and he will provide if we will just be patient.
He will give us the desires of our hearts as long as we walk with hima nd don't get ahead of him.
One day at a time.
