Wow that is a beautiful area, is there good hunting around any of these big lake areas like Kerr, Everitt Jordan, Falls Lake ?

I hear ya! Willy might become a good ol Carolina boy. I say welcome to the fold! You'll make a nice conversion. How close do you want to be to the coast? Come to High Rock lake and just go ahead and buy yourself a waterfront home...I need a good source of whiskey whilst cruisin on the Rock. I'm 3.5 hrs from SC beaches and about 4 from NC beaches. Also to the south there is Lake Wiley and Lake Norman. Waterfront on High Rock you are looking at $300k - $400k for a pretty nice home.Lake Norman and Lake Wiley are a different story where you'd be looking at twice that ++.

Go to http://www.lakehouse.com, click on NC on the map and check out some of the High-Rock homes and compare to the other lakes. Its the cheapest waterfront you will find anywhere in the state and some great deals can be had right now. BTW High-Rock is the 2nd largest lake in NC. Lake Norman is 1st.

Now if its the coast you are looking for I think you are on the right track with Beaufort, Morehead etc. I love it down that way. Make sure to get a double driveway so I can park my V next to yours.

Look at this one for $425K. That would be over 1 million on any other lake even though it is a 2 bdrm cottage.

I am torn on coast or hill country lake type thing. Whatever I do it will be a lot less expensive than that, the plan would be to by an initial property, small now, something inexpensive where I can stay and establish a residence and later when we finally do sell the house in the peoples republic buy something a little more elaborate either there our somewhere else, using this property as a second home.
