Here's what I figure
The place we're looking at is a little expensive for what it is. IMHO. Whatever. We offered. If we get it great, we go ahead with plans. If not, for the same money we could have bought a tiny little WAY fixer-upper adobe on 1/2 acre, we can get between 5 and 65 acres in the greater Northern New Mexico area for 1/3 to 1/2 the price, which gives us plenty o' cash to put up the most awesome straw-bale "adobe" you've ever seen. So. It might not be the worst thing if we don't get it. The view really is awesome though! And I liked the idea of starting from "something" rather than starting from scratch. I mean, even the tiny adobe has a flushable toilet, electricity, and water hooked up. And that's a lot.
And as much as I like the idea of being on the High Road--it's really not at all necessary for having a healthy art career up here. So. One way or the other we'll find our place. Sometimes these things take time. Patience. Hope. Courage. Endurance.

We were backup buyers on a nice piece of property (with septic system). While waiting our fate, we walked in on another situation by serendipitous accident which was a much better buy and a new house we could customize, triple the square footage, a two car garage, town water and sewer but .25% less land and only a few thousand more for the smaller place with the bigger lot and septic system. Good luck. Things work out in funny ways.
