OK ... I'll start the ball rolling:
I live in Tyrrell County, North Carolina ... on the Albemarle/Pamlico peninsula in Northeastern North Carolina. Here is the county website:

I live on a farm adjacent to the eastern boundary of the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Here is a video about the area:

Our year-old house when it was four months old (no, it's not a deer stand

April and I live happily in the Gum Neck Township portion of Tyrrell County, on 104 acres, of which 65 acres are working farmland. Corn, wheat, soybeans and potatoes are grown on our farm. We bought the place from my wife's maternal grandmother; her great-great-great grandparents are buried north of the house, under a huge old magnolia tree. Our new house is about where the old homeplace stood, down at the end of a mile-long road in the middle of nowhere ... just the way we like it.

No other houses near; just us!

Our place is located in the least populated county of North Carolina ... a land of big timber swamps, pocosins (shrub bog), pine plantations, vast agricultural fields, winding blackwater streams, and wide rivers ... all surrounded by sounds and ocean. It's a wild place, in many ways ... full of wildlife, rare species, fish and birds of all sorts, and seemingly endless space. Called a "sportsman's paradise" by many, our area is famous for it's hunting and fishing.
Our climate is temperate, as you would expect from it's southern location ... and more "Deep South" in character than most points this far north, because of it's proximity to the Gulf Stream. Hot and humid in the summer ... not too cold in the winter. Lots of tee-shirt days in January and February.
A good place to live. It's home to me!
