Sounds like a sweet chunk of the world up there copticruiser. Hope you do get a good neighbour, and that in return, you are a good neighbour to them. Makes all the difference in the world knowing your back is covered by the adjoining property. We had a great neighbour right next to us, until he past away last year, and we miss him. He was really well set up with a stocked trout pond, took pride and pleasure in tending his gardens, and had heritage seeds correctly stored away. Very security minded too, and would let you know if something in the area seemed funky. Kind of a recluse, as are many of us, but several times a year came in to chat over a cup of tea. We shared lots of cultivated veggies back and forth, and he traded us wild raspberries and apples from his property in return for cherries and hazelnuts from mine. I could also call him if I needed help lifting anything, or for advice. An old school gentleman, especially around my wife and children. But that's all done now that he's past on, and nobody is on the property. Just his distant cousins down in the city, squabbling over who gets what, weather they could develop it, put in a road and turn it into small parcels for mini homes, whatever. Must admit whenever I see clean cars come up the road to look at the property, I take the .22 out back to my range and make a little noise, you know, just making sure the scope is still dialed in. Holding out hope, like you, for someone who recognizes the value in the land, and for building strong bonds with their new neighbour, after all, we're more self sufficient together than we are apart.

Best of luck!
