Before or at 40 years old, I wanted to own a piece of property that I could shoot on and use 3 wheelers /fish/whatever. Well My wife bought it for me today, 3 months shy of 40. Keep in mind, I live in a rather populated new england state and land is at a preminum. We looked at a few pieces of just plain land. While the land was big (50-60 acres) there was no house and we would be 5-6 years away from building. We found a beautiful log cabin on 45 acres that borders some forestry preserve on a couple of sides. When we took a tour of the place the agent mentioned that there was a large vault in the basement. The old owner was a big hunter and converted 1/3 of the basement into a 'gun room.' Right there my wife knew it was serious. I then asked did he shoot on the property. He said 'sure, there is some shooting shack out on the property with electric run to it, a 100 yard range and pistol range behind it." I think my wife knew right there it was sold.
Well we closed today and I snapped a couple of pictures of the vaulted gun room. This is behind 12" of concrete and vault door. Shelving and cedar closets are not shown. It will be a great reloading and storage room
