A couple months ago there was a Pea discussion on home/work commute limits and I probably replied that I’d drive about 30 minutes for the right property. At that time I lived a 4 minute drive from my office. DSO and I unexpectedly stumbled upon our dream home at the end of June. We hadn’t planned on buying this year but this house checked so many boxes for us we jumped on it. Through the hassle of listing and selling both our houses, selling duplicate furniture, the packing and unpacking…we knew it would be worth it and celebrated on our dock last evening. Today was the first time I drove to work…my 4 minute commute has turned to 40…but I had to stop a few times for photos 😉    |

Beautiful! Where is it? It's giving me Wisconsin vibes (I have a cabin there).

Gorgeous views, Neisey. Thanks for sharing them. When I saw your title and the top part of that first photo I thought you were going to say that you were commuting by BOAT  . I had to commute quite a distance most of my working life, and 40 minutes of country roads seems preferable to 10 fighting city traffic. Congratulations! |

It’s a very pleasant drive leading to a small city so traffic is not an issue. |

Well, I can certainly see how you guys got sucked in by this property. 40 min of commute when you aren't dealing with traffic isn't so bad. Plus, it might only be a 25 min commute once you can get your head to stop spinning as you take in your breathtaking scenery.

Those are some beautiful views! I appreciate that my commute gives me some decompression time, pulling over to take in a beautiful sunset on my way home is a nice way to transition from the office.

Beautiful pictures. Enjoy your new home. I would drive that far, especially in low traffic areas, to live with that view and on the water.

I would drive 40 minutes if I lived there, too.  It's absolutely beautiful! I live 4-6 minutes from my office now. I've thought a lot about how far I will move when my divorce is final, and I really don't want any more than a 20 minute drive. LOL I'm spoiled, I know! But, there is a lake community near where I live, and it would be about a 30 minute drive to my office. I will totally buy a house there if I can afford to. I only have to go to my office 2 days a week, and I have always dreamed about living by a lake. |
