If you thought Stampie was an expert at hoarding projects before... 8 acres of E36 M3 boxes is going to be epic!

Awesome! When you were talking about it at Patrick's I was secretly hoping there'd be a way I could follow along. 

Big congrats!

That seems like a really good price for that amount of land.  What is the area?  Any similar plots for sale?

Congrats Stampie! This is fantastic. If you need help with a barn raising or something plan for a stop off after the Challenge. 

I love the off grid idea. Solar is fantastic.

It has a lot of wetlands that you can't do anything on, not a lot of buildable space. The price reflects that. Its a great property to have a nice private space and let nature be the buffer to the outside world.

Not necessarily true, given some deputies I've known...

It looks like there are some big/fancy houses around there.

His neighbor directly to the north has already gone down that path! Something tells me they're going to get along real well! :D

With 8 acres, not much of it needs to be built on (at least for any use I'd have).  Privacy and nature would be 2 of the highest priorities for me.

From my many examples, including my personal friends in law enforcement, cops have a general rule of not pooping where they sleep.  The last thing they want when they are home is to be "the cop" and end up a part of neighborhood "politics". Also, they usually like doing "fun" stuff as much/more than you do. 
 

so it works great. you have the security of an LEO next door, maybe a county car in the driveway, and a neighbor who just wants to be cool and not be involved in any probs/drama.

From looking at it's listing history I got it 30% off because previous potential buyers discovered the wetlands and the limited building space. Seems everyone in the area want to clear cut and build. I'm going to be the strange woods guy. I'm the last lot to be built on this street. It's a few miles NE of Gainesville. Lots of land out there but nothing as cheap as what I'm getting.

It's Florida. There's large something on the property. This morning something went crashing in the bush. My bet is boar. 

When closing on my current house I got there 2 hours early and was nervous so I grabbed lunch and a beer. I'm early again so I guess it's a tradition now.
