When I bought a house a couple of years ago I was honest & upfront with my realtor when she asked me this very question and I told her I wanted three primary things:
1. No HOA's or neighbors with the ability to tell me what to do.
2. A wood burning stove or fireplace.
3. The isolation & privacy to be able to walk out my front door butt naked with a shotgun, fire it in any direction that I choose and not offend, threaten or concern my nearest neighbor.......
She thought I was joking at first, but as we toured houses and she saw what I liked & disliked, she found me exactly what I was looking for
