Where can I retire?

I want to sit in my house and look out at the ocean.
I don't wanna' be too cold or too hot.
I also want to be within 100 miles of a big city (and airport).
I want enough land to have a 4-car size shed (600m³ or more) and I only wanna' pay $150,000 or so.
Where?

(OBMOTO: it also needs to be within three or four days ride of Phillip Island)

 

Yanchep just an hour north of Perth, WA (was the ride to the island
non-stop?)

 

Island)

Grantville about 35 kms from Phillip Island would go close to meeting those
criteria, so would a couple of the smaller other towns each way from the
roundabout.

Now this I understand!

Does that 150 include the house? If not (ie Land only) then you could
try Apollo Bay, Mansfield and surrounds (OK its in the mountains),
Portland (though this is far away, possibly closer to Adelide) and
last but not least why not try tassie (its an overnight ferry).

If your retired, or close to it, you could even try your hand at
building the house. Have a read of "Mortgage Free" or the "Independant
Builder" for inspiration.

Oh and Venus bay is quite popular at the moment, so its probably
expensive (more than its worth, like much in RE these days), but its
close to the Island.

North-East Tasmania. Mild climate, good roads, still affordable, ocean
views aplenty.

 

Im hoping he leaves Gods own country completly.(QLD.)

North NSW/SE Qld?

Thinking about it myself, but I have a few more years work first which is
why I'm not there now. (ie no work in Bris)

 

aheam... bugga peter that makes me smile a lot ...

 

yes yes very clever...

though I'd probably say "podex porci" which is a better translation.

you know you cant just tack latin words together indiscriminate of case
and gender don't you? ;p

 

And only a short trip to Theo's for a beer.

Theo

 

English doesn't really discriminate between case and gender the same way
that romance languages do, so I don't actually do that in English,
probably more by nature than design.

not smartarse, and no more pedantic than you punctuation nazis

 

Tarago wins on the "within 100 miles of a city" (Canberra), or 140
miles to Sydney if that's not "big" enough. ;-)

You'll also get the land for the 4 car garage and the sub-$150,000
price, but you'd miss out on the ocean views and it's seriously cold
in the winter.

And the wind blows at near-gale-force All The Damned Time. ;-)


BTH

 

Well if it's a choice between using words incorrectly tacked together
and not being understood at all...

I don't think there's anyone left anymore than speaks solely Latin where
you can justify that though..

Maybe some altar boys in Vatican City.

 

Geez, you've got a nerve Theo.

I'm not the one who goes about pretending he's Greek on the news groups.

And you'll be able to give BT a lift to PI after he's put new camchains in
*all* his bikes...

Gawd a Scot speaking Greek in Italy
What's wrong here?

KiwiPete's philosophy as quoted
Glad to bring mirth!
Actually truth be known I don't dislike Clem... or Theo or Paulh or even
Nev... well maybe Nev... its just that we don't have a huge amount in common
and tend to all fly off!

 

You should be so lucky; I think he's packing a stiffy for me;...
He mentions me every second post and hangs on my every word!!
Very disconcerting!!
Clem

 

Alas there was nothing available on-line but it's certainly in my list of desirable places.
(Errmm.. Yanchep, not Theo's... OK; Yanchep AND Theo's!!)

Currently the hot picks are Cape Jervis and Port Macdonnell (Both in S.A) but I'm sure more options will
appear.
