Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
And if you think my story was humorous you will love my criteria:
Deeded Lot
55+
Has elderly activites for my wife
Has woods and nature for me
Has a 20+ mile long bicycle trail
Has some kayaking nearby
Can't be too cold, can't get too hot.
Has good health infrastructure, but not too crowded.
Has major airport within an hour so we can fly to go visit the kids.
It can be a house, an RV park, a mobile home community (I think the new term is modular home or premanufactured home). I have never needed a castle, our home is just somplace to store our stuff untill we take our next trip.
And I will need a garage/shed/barn/extra bedroom to store my tools. I love my tools.
I know what I am looking for is probably impossible, after all I have been searching for over 10 years. So have fun with this.
I have 2 thoughts:
1. You've been looking for 10 years, perhaps the place you are looking for doesn't exist.
2. One of your requirements "can't be too hot can't be too cold" taken under consideration with "our home is just somplace to store our stuff untill we take our next trip."
My suggestion is to find a place that has decent weather most of the time, and when the weather is either too hot or too cold use that time to travel. You don't need perfect weather 12 months of the year, you may only need good weather 9 or 10 months each year.
