DW Bookworm and I currently living in central Mississippi are contemplating on our ER and destination which should happen in 20 months or so. To be close enough to grandkids in NYC/NJ and my aging mom in DC we figured that somewhere along the Interstate 81 corridor in Virginia just might be far enough away from the crazy DC salaries and real estate to be affordable yet accessable to family by car. We reconoitered Stuarts Draft, Waynesboro, Lurray etc (all very nice!) but we found that a modest fairly new 1500+ sf house in a subdivision to be on the North side of $200K. Garages were either singles or non existant. The lots were small. We are trying to limit our house purchase to $200K to avoid a mortgage.
I came up with the brilliant idea of purchasing 2-3 acres in the country and erecting a 1500 sf modular home on it. We could probably do it for $200K and throw in a my dream pole barn garage to boot.
I am looking for advice from anyone with experience with modular homes, particularly in a rural setting. I am sure there are things I should consider other than water, sewage, power and internet access.
Thanks much!
