Actually, this is part IV in our Epic Quest of finding the right piece of land to settle upon. But the “Seeking Land” titles are getting boring. So it’ll have to be the subtitle..

It was a Saturday like many before, except now it was raining hard. We figured we’d beat the rain on our way south, but by the time Antwerp was reached the decision was made to head back home, it was to wet. Funny thing was that it was the second time that day we decided not to go on another quest.

After switching driver and finding our way back to the highway the choice to head south was made.., again. This time we stuck with it, and that was a good call.

As usual Laila prepared the trip by finding potentials on the Web. Feeding the information into the TomTom is as easy as pie and then we drive, in this case, for another two hours.

The first lot was messy (many, many tree stumps) and facing the wrong way (i.e. north). The surrounding area was beautiful and it did lie on a dead end road, but it just didn’t cut it.

The second and last lot, we wouldn’t visit the third, was hard to find. For some reason the brokers always give the wrong location on the map and/or the wrong address. Don’t know why, it just is…
Anyhoo.., we did find it and does look promising, I might sound a bit cautious and that’s with good reason. We do not want to get overly exited.., again.

But, it seems a nice big piece for a reasonable price, no utilities and facing south-east.

It used to hold trees and there will be some, or maybe a lot, tree trunks there. But the site has been.., ehhh.., dormant for quite some time. A lot of stuff is growing there for at least since winter. This is positive for us, ‘cause the longer a site is on the market, the stronger the need to get rid of it, we hope we can knock a bit of the price…

For now we will contact the broker, ask a few serious questions and if, or when, they have positive answers we will contact the local government and see if can actually do what ever it is that we’re gonna do…
