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

Good luck with whatever you do, I wouldn't live in Corpus either, on a canal on North Padre would work though. Whatever you do don't sale it, if you try it and things don't work out there is nothing wrong with waiting to enjoy it later in life. In 25 years when your kids are gone you will have the perfect place to gather with the family when dove, quail, and deer season rolls around. Which is exactly what I'm looking for, we are 75% of the time on the Guadalupe south of New Braunfels and 25% of the time in Rockport after rebuilding from Harvey but in the next 5 to 7 years hopefully that is 50/50 Rockport and a ranch down south somewhere when I retire.
