We've found a property that possibly might work out for us. The owners are willing to give us a lease to own option. The property's only drawback, is that the house is right on a main road, but our traffic isn't much to talk about here...in fact I wouldn't even call it traffic. It's out of town and it's a cute place with almost 4 1/2 acres. The house is small, but I like smaller spaces (only use what you need!) and it's completely remodeled. It has a HUGE basement and lots of storage, a great spot for a big garden with a small, mature fruit orchard. 
There is plenty of room for my horse and any other animals we may want to get with a water ditch going though a portion of the property. I've been told I can get on my horse and ride into the mountains from the back of the acreage.
Even though it's close to town and it's on the road, it's still a place that we can make into a small homestead. Eventually, if we wanted, we could actually pick up the house and move it to the back of the acreage, taking it off the road a bit. If nothing else, this is a great stepping stone house.

Love the kitchen! What a bright, sunny place. It looks like a great start to a homestead! I live on 1 acre and dream of more, until I walk on 5 or 10 acres and realize just how BIG that is! I hope it works out for you.
Woot - so exciting!!! I'm so proud of you for following your dreams and doing what you want with your life! =) Keep us posted on the house front - if you do settle on a place, I want tons of pictures!! =)
OK, these pictures are nearly making me cry. And I'm already having a cruddy week. :(
I hope this works out... it looks adorable and basements ROCK!
Oh! Absolutely adorable! We're neighbors - I live in Southern Washington. I love the home and wish I had seen it first. :)
Hot Belly Mama-
Have you been down here to the Wallowa area? If you haven't, you have to come. It's absolutely gorgeous and now you know someone down here. You'll love it!
What a great looking house. It looks in so much better shape than the house we're looking at. And an established orchard! What a find! We will be starting from scratch with any fruit production. I love the sunny yellow kitchen. It looks great.
Good luck!
