Good places to retire? Sorry-long

Just a short story, A customer of mine a few weeks before I retired finally found some property in the Ozarks. It had been overlooked for many years but he and the realtor took a drive up the hill (almost mountain) to the top where the property was located. There was a beautiful view of Lake of the Ozarks with plenty of land to clear for other lots to sell. The property was never sold because no one traveled to the top for a scenic view.
