we are selling our property in beautiful Door County...
hubby too disabled to go thru the effort of the trip from CT and the inaccessibility of the house for him. Plus, the expense of upkeep. His sister has given up, too due to her inability to do the stairs in that house. Age takes its toll. And his kids/her kids are not interested in having the property and would sell it in an instant if they inherited it.
We don't know how much to ask for the house and will check with a realtor there. There's land, a house and a guest cottage, all in great condition so we figure it will be worth a tidy sum. And we can use the money.
It's sad but inevitable. It was hubby's parents house and for years after their deaths we were able to get out there.
I thought we'd never see the day this would happen. I will miss the symphony season which I always loved. But the handwriting was on the wall...we still have friends/neighbors who are dear souls and who have watched our property all these years. I feel bad for them as they don't know who will be their neighbors but I hope for the best.
This has not been a time in our lives that were without some bitter infighting but life goes on...

We had a pretty bad squabble with her and her RW husband before he died. I don't know what her politics are now and I don't care. She and her husband caused my husband so much grief it is unforgiveable. Since her husband's death she may have repented and who knows, she may be in worse physical shape than we knew. She is grossly obese, tho, or was a few years back.
May I ask if you know how land prices are in idyllic Door County? I'm guessing that really nice land there is at a premium...but IDK really...
