As for me and my little light pollution problem - on Saturday we were about to make an offer on a property but then left the property dejected as the covenant of the land precluded shed or outbuildings being erected or constructed. it was the darkest place i have been too in suburbia, the house was right, close enough for Brad to go to school and i had full command of all the sky with no streetlights or homes being a problem.
Doh! well, at least your are seriously looking, ie it sounds liek it is going to happen for you and that's great news!!
