The Hunt

So, the hunt began originally for a family place ... big water nearby, and the perfect land ... rolling pastures, a little bit of woods, private ... not too far from town ...

First, there was a piece of beautiful land on the river ... but the river gets too shallow for boating, and the land "rolled" a bit too much ... and then, there would be building.  Nope.

Then there was the old farmhouse that we found ... lovely place.  Barns, and the cutest old farmhouse ... however, the farmhouse was going to be a massive renovation project.  Massive.  Nope.

We saw a few other places ... one was a mess of a house on perfect land ... one was a perfect house on 50 acres that went straight up ... Nope.

Finally .... we found it.  A log home on nearly 30 gorgeous rolling acres.  Long driveway off a small gravel road ... 2 miles from the little town, and 15 minutes to a bigger city.  Only 7 minutes to a gorgeous lake with a nice marina.  Pastures ... plenty of open land ... cows next door.  WOW !!

We're now in the inspection process ... and are working through the particulars.

If all goes as planned, it'll close on or before March 11th.

It's Paradise !!
