Moving to the country sounds peacefulā¦until you realize youāre moving into someone elseās neighborhood.
And by āsomeone,ā I mean raccoons, deer, elk, skunks, mice, woodpeckersā¦maybe a cougar or twoā¦and yes, even snakes. š
When Iām talking to someone about rural living, this is one of those things I want them thinking about before they build.
Youāre not just choosing a piece of land - youāre building a home right in the middle of nature.
That means your home design, landscaping, fencing, storage, pets, and even where you place certain features on the property may need a little more thought.
Thinking about making the move outside of town?
Comment the word āRURALā and Iāll send you my full breakdown on what you need to know before making the move.
The critters were there first. You just need to make sure your new home is ready for its new neighbors. š
