My roof still isn't done - it's gone to arbitration so we're waiting for a 3rd party appraiser to make an appointment with me. I've been waiting more than 2 weeks already, so I guess they'll stretch it out to their 30 day limit. I have decided upon a realtor to list my house when it's ready, so I guess I've made some progress.
That serendipity moment I had when the 2 acres of land came back on the market? Those dreams came to a screeching halt this morning. A friend of mine from Detroit Lakes posted on Facebook how disappointed he was that the city didn't allow backyard chickens. Okay, the land I'm looking at is outside city limits, so I'm okay, right?
I thought I should check anyway. Not finding anything on the Becker County website, I called the county offices. Nope, no chickens in Hidden Hills either. I have been dreaming about that little spot of land for almost 2 years, so you can imagine my disappointment!
I called my realtor in Minnesota and told her what I found out, and said that no chickens was a deal breaker. Just this morning she walked some land not on the market yet North of the city. I told her woods were important too, and she replied that there were a lot of pine trees surrounding the property. She's going to check to see if it's zoned agricultural - it's the same price, but less land.
I know the right place will happen, whether it's land to build my dream house, or a property that already has my dream house. The universe always gives me what I ask for, so I know that there's an even better place awaiting me. And chickens. There are definitely chickens.
