I want to buy 3-5 acres of wood. So how do I find something that's for sale and is the right spot? It seems like when this sort of thing is available it's by word of mouth and rarely ever hits the market. And of course I'd really like it in bicycle distance or at most 30 minutes by car. The Land Registry has a couple of bits but I haven't been able to find the owners. Why? - To escape to, where nobody can see you or hear you - To hide a Yurt - To have the occasional party - To build one of these. http://www.simondale.net/house/ not to live in but to spend the occasional night or week in. You gotta have dreams, right?
