I am interested in the Waxhaw area- more away from Charlotte than closer to it. I am divorced with grown children and will be interviewing for a teaching position at Parkway this week. This is a second career for me and I am looking at the area for semi-retirement at least part time and the mountains in the summers. I lived in Charlotte in the 1980s and loved Waxhaw at the time but it has definitely changed. Moving from the Winston-Greensboro area. I am interested in living in a rural area - not out in the sticks but something with breathing room in the country. Any suggestions about what parts of rural area? My budget is 150,000 and below and I have no interest in subdivisions - been there done that - I have dogs and cats and just want some privacy. I also don't mind driving 10 or 15 miles to work/school which at this point looks like Parkway. Any thoughts on Parkway HS? I work with special populations right now so I could care less about teaching at the "best" or desired high schools. I looked over Parkway's stats and it looks ok. also don't care how small or impressive a house is - I would like something smaller 1200-1400 sf with an acre or less. any thoughts about whether 150,000 will buy something like that in a rural area?

Reason: forgot to add
There might be homes in your price range in Monroe. Try there as well. Oh and Indian Trail if memory serves me right. A friend bought a gorgeous house there with over an acre and loves it.

Reason: mixed up two cities.
150k budget in Waxhaw will be tough. Maybe for an older ranch. I recommend the Allen Tate property search app for IPAD or droids to get started. It is a great search tool. Picks up all the MLS listings.

I got excited when I read this post so I downloaded the app. It works good except it doesn't let me specify how much land I'm searching for. Wish I could find a good site or app for that.

It possible to search for acreage using the allen tate site, however you must use a laptop or desktop.
Under advanced search options, select 1 acre or greater etc.....
