    From Glasir, the nearest Walmart for us is 40 miles.

    nearest town is 5 miles.

    closest neighbor is 1/2 mile.

    I get why you want to move.

    Some folks Understand! :yes: Other's don't, I've had a neighbor say to me; "Why do you want to move from such a beautiful resort town and you're only 9 blocks from the beach"? 1st Reason). Resort town!!! 2nd reason) there are only 3 permanent/local households on my block, all the rest come from, Phila, or NYC. 3rd reason) it's a complete CLUSTER-F__VCK here in the summertime! 4th reason) banner planes, lawn mowers, Weed whackers, leaf blowers, screaming kids, ferry boat whistles, traffic, and always some kind of construction going from sun up to sun down every day! 5th Reason) Gun laws and politics. :hair::zip::loco: :crazy: No more said here... :picard: Some people just love this place and it's the ones from the city who (THINK) this place is Utopia :tears:. I don't think they've ever been anywhere else where REAL nature exists and if they have, they realize it dosen't have all the amenities THEY want and shopping right around the corner. Most would know how to survive the outdoors.

    To give you the correct answer, 58 years in (This) house on and off. My Parents had this place built in 1965. I purchased it from my father when he retired in the early 80's My military movements/duties had me in different places but I kept the house.

    I assume you're selling it once NH is done or will you keep it as a rental?

    SELL, SELL, SELL, SELL, SELL, SELL! Did I say sell....... I have NOOOOOOOOO desire to deal with whiney people renting and the head aches that go with it, Just want to be left alone. Some say it's a financial security, I call it a pain in the A$$.... I don't need the aggravation, nor do I want it.

    Not that I’m excited about people moving to the Thedford Ne. area but it sounds like you would fit right in around here, and I would welcome you.
    Can’t get to much farther away from a beach than this place

    He lives in the wrong part of the state, albeit, there are many of those. I live in a much more rural area. Lots of woods and farmland around me. More space = more freedom.

    Anywhere (Near) the shore and surrounding areas are crazy. There are places in NJ that are much more better but you're STILL in NJ... :picard:

    Yeah! But as you saw, I do have to put a sign out! :headbang: A few years ago, I had a load dumped about 3pm in the afternoon, I had to run to the store for some dinner items and when I pulled up, some DIPS#!T was loading his pickup with my wood! I won't begin to tell you what I said on here but just use your Imagination :whistle::zip: ...
