Woohoo!!  They accepted our offer!  3.5 acres!  w00t!  We were super worried because another offer came in.  So, we switched our offer to be all cash, instead of a loan (although we're still trying to rush through a loan so we don't have to use all of our cash), and a 30 day closing period.  They were "enticed" by the cash offer and took our deal.  And for those new to the conversation, we aren't building on the land until it's paid off... so it will be many years.  But, we will hike and play on the land in the meantime.  w00t!
