You were very smart @Renauda . And you timed it right.
My spouse timed it right. I was very sceptical about the purchase and probably would not have pursued it. She, on the other hand, had been doing her homework and came to the rightful conclusion it was either pull the trigger then or forget it as land prices in the valley were about to soar. She was, of course, right.
Besides, I had already vetoed one property deal just above the road into Naramata three months earlier because there was a 10’ wide surface right of way for a buried and active gas distribution line right through the middle of the .75 acre lot. I therefore decided that being too much of a stick in the mud was not advisable as there were zero defensible technical reasons to say no again.
