My wife and I are just beginning to nimble around the very same discussion.
She is 9 years younger than I am so we can all do the math.
God willing we have another ten years here and then we need to make a move: If the kids want the farm they can have it, if not, selling will be on the table..this place is way too much effort. A lot of where she goes and how will no doubt depend on where our children decide to live and if they have children of their own.

I don't want to wait until I croak and leave selling the house and disposing of all my crap to her, so we're thinking ahead on that. We have started divesting ourselves of stuff, but we have a long way to go.
