Re: [Homesteadingfamily] Seeking Country Property

We live in Hunt County in NE Texas, property taxes are low, no state income
Taxes, and no restrictions on land. No springs nearby that I know of, but
our neighbor has a well, not too deep. Close enough to Dallas, TX for work
if needed, but far enough away for low taxes. No gas or oil drilling
nearby. If you are willing to live on an unpaved road, taxes are even
cheaper.
