Now that we've had a few days to think about our latest visit to the lakes region and looked at a whole bunch of houses in different areas, I'm wondering about distances and rural locations.

We saw one house that we loved. It was out on Chemung Rd. in Meredith past Lake Wickwas. Beautiful property, but it felt "out there." It seemed like it took a long time to get there from downtown Laconia, but it was actually only about 10 miles.

What I am wondering is...does it take awhile to get used to how far things are away? Are things actually closer than you think, once you get used to the area? Do you think some locations feel "out there" because we're so used to living in a densely populated area?

We are looking for space and privacy, but not isolation. Interested in your thoughts.
