My wife and I are planning to retire within another 2.5 years and want to begin searching for our next home. We’re both in our early 50’s and have been quite fortunate and made good choices. We’ve grown tired of the area in which we currently reside (both in terms of increased population and weather). As such, we’re hoping to find a vacation home (to become permanent) somewhere south of us in the mid-Atlantic region.
I’m looking for some suggested areas to begin checking out. I’d want to remain within approximately 8 hours driving distance from our current location (Lehigh Valley PA), perhaps along the I-81 corridor in western NC or VA). More specifically, we’d be looking for a place with some property (nothing huge, 10-20 acres would do, more would be fine as well), preferably wooded/mountain type.
Thus far, I’ve only briefly looked on Zillow to see what’s currently available in NC and VA. I think we’d want to be no further south than that. Eastern TN could also be a possibility, but I really haven’t seen anything of interest there lately.
We’re planning on taking some road trips to look around soon, we just need a few target areas to start the search. I work from home, so, if we found something sooner rather than later it would be fine.
If there are some areas that you’re familiar with and have some suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks so much.
