Jewel Pond

This has been a wonderful place to live, but we've always known we would have to move on sometime. The owners have no intent of ever offering an option to purchase, and have made that known from the start.

We found a new place to start again, where we will be able to purchase when the time comes.

This will truly be a start from scratch. It's a lovely little farmhouse, and just 14 acres. I'm planning to make an outside gathering area in that carport. There's a front porch, too, and it's pretty nice, but it's probably going to be pretty warm in the summer with a direct southern exposure.


The majority of it is woods, but there's a couple of smallish paddocks to start off with.

Most of it is woods and very old paddocks or very young woods. There's a tiny little pond up near the northernmost side of the property. This is the one I've named Jewel Pond. Doesn't quite live up to its name yet. I'm going with the vision here!

The inside is very well kept up. The entry/living area is a real treat.

The entry - the door has lights all the way around - currently painted over and covered up from the outside (!).

And the living room. Fireplace not functional.



Next post, the guided tour.

Dear s0u7:

"Later" is a dumb name for a pond. Besides, we already named the CPAP that.
