Would you like forty minutes away from town?

Me and my boyfriend just sold our house and are looking to buy again. We both don’t like the area where we live, as we would prefer trees, mountains, etc. unfortunately, his business is here and we cannot just up and move.

We found a house forty minutes away from where we live now but I dislike the drive.

However, this house is right up against big hills with mountains behind it and lots of trees. It is five acres(we need the property we have a lot of animals) already has horse stalls, a workshop, shed, everything we wanted. It is a smaller house than our previous which I’m happy about because the last house was too big for me to keep our business going, working my other job, and taking care of the animals/house.

My only con is that it’s far. I hate being far from town because I have a big oil’ gas hog of a truck and it will cost me $40/day just to go into town. I can work from home a couple days a week but that’s still a lot, it’s already non turbo. I lived thirty minutes from town before and it was a struggle, but I hated the area flat land, no trees, and hated the job I had to go to.

Would you sacrifice the drive to live in a house/area you really like?
