Moving our homestead

My husband and I have a small 10 acre farm with chickens, goats, dogs, cats, tractors, farm implements, and everything else that goes along with homesteading. We are contemplating a move to another area because our town is developing too fast for us. Much vacant land is for sale and businesses seems to be enlarging. We've been here 6 years and it's just not the same. We've thought about this on & off for the past year, but this year we're really serious. There is a possibility that a one mile auto race track will be built behind us. And our closest neighbors are already selling. We're looking at areas about 100-200 miles away and we're unsure about the way to approach this. Do we find the job first? Do we find a home first? Do we put items into storage and come back for them? Do we start our garden this spring? After reading Countryside, I've learned that the hardest part is actually making the decision. The organization & moving fall into place as we go along. Any support from fellow readers will be appreciated.
