Here's what I want:

small town (5-10K tops)
seasons - I love cold weather
in the US so I can travel back to ATL easily
privacy
A decent amount of land (5+ acres)

I'm not interested in an "up and coming area". That's what I ended up with here. I will probably keep my house here and rent it out as a vacation home and stay here when I visit. Ideally, I'd rent a place for awhile in the new area first.

I plan on this being a minimum 2 year search.

Tell me about where you live, where you lived, where you've visited that I might like, etc.
