[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, we are a family formerly based in DC (proper) who joined the Foreign Service and have now lived overseas for 6 years. We are coming back for 2 years and have decided to have an adventure and try living on some land.

Anywhere[b] in VA or MD is fine as long as it's near a Marc line so spouse can commute in on Mondays and come home Fridays. Two or even 3 hours out is fine.[/b]

Schools are middle and elementary - we just need good schools with enthusiastic teachers who give a crap about the kids.

We are fairly liberal and would love to find a community that isn't too conservative.

Price up to $600K but preferably lower! Somewhere between 5 and 20 acres.

Any thoughts based on those factors?

The places I've found mentioned so far are New Windsor/New Market/Frederick in Maryland (I was in Frederick this summer and it was adorable) and also Warrentown / Winchester VA and Shephardstown WV.

Thank you![/quote]

How much were you planning to spend for DH's apartment for M-F or does he have a parent there where he can stay for free?  you looking for a real farm, to write off as a farm, or just space?

I'd look in oakton, Clifton, Great Falls and have DH commute on the metro.  You have young children.  Do you have long term live in help?  Oddly when my DD was young she asked at a few houses if so and so was an aunt, great aunt, grandma-well that caused offense.[/quote]
