House & farm I was raised in/on. We all become attached to the places & things of our childhood. However, I submit that when you were raised on a farm, tilling the soil, harvesting the crops, tending the animals plus playing outdoors more than many kids, the level of attachment is greatly amplified. Now it comes down to the need to ensure my dad's ongoing quality of care given that he could live a good 5 or even 10 years depending on selling the remaining house & land. The house needs a good bit of work (New HAVC, ventilation system for Radon, some work to ensure the basement does not leak, and some work to the hard wood floors & probably some upgrades to the electrical system). It is solidly built, has a new roof, full basement with den, garage & laundry area, & also a carport. There is around 22-23 acres left of the property. It is in a very highly in demand area in a very fast-growing place. It should sell well if we can just get someone trustworthy to help us market it properly who won't screw us over.
We got a lot done: Ripped out the way past worn out carpet to reveal the wonderfully preserved hard wood floors, cleaned out the attic basement, the house & the shed. Nearly filled a huge dumpster. Now comes the hard part...................selling it.
