re: Living on a ranch in south Texas far from the city

Same answer for all the same reasons I listed, plus more. Where will your kids go to school, what social skills will they learn being isolated from their peer group, will your wife want to live in the middle of no where while pregnant or raising a new born? What is there to do from May until September when temps are over 105 every day?

The public schools are not great but they aren’t terrible either. There are private schools in kingsville, Alice, and Laredo. Homeschool is also an option, or boarding school. Hopefully I would find a girl that likes small towns or grew up down there and knows what to expect. If I built a swimming pool and took trips to the beach every other weekends I don’t think the heat would be a huge issue. If the girl doesn’t want to live on the ranch we could live in the nearby town, or worst case scenario live in beeville/George west or kingsville or even Alice. I don’t think I would like to live in corpus personally.
I’m not trying to downplay your concerns, because I completely get what you mean, and those are the kind of comments I was looking for, I want people to tell me that I’m crazy for wanting to do this. There is a reason my family doesn’t live down there anymore… I think I could make it work though
