We're considering moving because more and more houses are being built around ours.
Here's a house we've looked at:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1622-Patricks-Point-Dr-Trinidad-CA-95570/18845477_zpid/
It's in the redwoods, isolated from other houses, and within easy biking distance to the small town of Trinidad.
The big disadvantages:
1. One-car garage, meaning our truck would have to sit outside in the salt air (1,000 ft from ocean).
2. Really steep driveway (We visited it after a windstorm when there was a lot of duff on the driveway. If I hadn't turned on the 4-wheel drive, we would have gotten stuck). Turning around at the top of the driveway may require a 5-point turn.
3. We would have to move (that is, not stay in our current house).
Thoughts?
