A co-worker of me, Peter, just bought 80 acres of land in Tomahawk, a one hour drive west of Edmonton. There is a small shack on it but that is not much, its good enough for spending the weekends. He is going to build a kind of a underground house on/in it. In the middle of the lot there is a nice hill to do so, on a clear day you can look far away over the valley, the back of the house will be dug into this hill and his arched curved porch/walkway will overlook the valley.Last weekend I drove out there to take a look, huge piece of land. "Come on, I'll show you arround" he said, and to my surprise he stepped into his truck. So we drove arround his property, otherwise we had to walk half a day or so to see it all. And I'm thinking we had a large property. So different compared to Holland, you can buy here any amount of land for a very reasonable price. The more rural the cheaper it gets. Many people own a piece of land just for recreational purposes, something that never came to mind when I was still living in NL. Could not affort it, and now it's just for the grabs here. With the economy and the interest-rates the way they are right now, it's as cheap as ever. But we need the PR to buy a piece of land that large. Have to be patient, and that is not one of my best virtues.
