This isn't 100% skiing related, but I thought the wise and well traveled Pugskiers might have some interesting opinions on this.
In the next 5-10 years, I will transition to fully remote work. This creates a unique opportunity to live anywhere, regardless of job market.
I'm currently 30 and getting married next year. We currently live in Minneapolis, but our dream is to buy a decent sized lot (1+ acres) and build our forever home. Budget of $200-300k for the lot.
Wish list:
Anywhere else I should consider?

Wish list:
- Peaceful setting with mountain or lake views.
- Driveable to an interesting city or small town. (Our favorite part of Minneapolis living is the restaurants, breweries, and city parks.)
- Prefer cool or cold weather. Anything consistently over 85 degrees is a no go. That said, we currently live in Minneapolis, so we've had enough of the truly brutal winters.
- ~30 minute drive to a modest to large size airport for traveling or visiting family in Minnesota & Texas.
- Good school system for raising kids.
- Don't need to ski everyday, but a mountain within daytripping distance (1-2 hours) or even a convenient airport to affordably reach skiing would be ideal.
- Near hiking/outdoor activities for the dog and family.
