Single 30 something single lady here. Want to build my dream country home on 5+ acres, probably in NC or even eastern TN because of the taxes (they are phasing out the tax on investment income).
I'm currently in a big city in Florida and it's just way too hot and trafficky. No privacy. The road/housing development construction is endless here. I used to live in Western NC for a few years but it was a little "too" remote and hilly. I need a happy medium. My mom works at a Veterans hospital in Florida and would like to transfer to NC or TN at some point. I don't want her to be too far from me (she lives alone as well) or my sister who lives near Raleigh.
-5+ acres with room to build 2 houses on
-30 min to a city/international airport
-good hospitals in the city
-VA hospital nearby
-Decent restaurants or shopping would be nice for mom (I am a trained chef and do most shopping online)
-Crime is a concern as a single female but prob not a deal breaker
As far as nightlife or a social scene, I'm basically a multimillionaire recluse. I work from home, create my own entertainment, travel when bored. I'm looking for a place I can put down roots for the next decade or two. I have lived in tiny towns, suburbs, and big cities and I just prefer my peace and quiet to being in a cool, trendy city. I like volunteering and being outdoors.
Which cities sound like what I'm looking for? I'm looking at Spartanburg, Nashville area, Knoxville, Piedmont. Not Asheville or too in the mountains. I went to the triangle, seemed to have nothing esp interesting or unique about it. Charlotte doesn't have much in the way of large vacant lots for sale.
Where should I visit?
