In our search for the perfect piece of land for our homestead, I can't even tell you how many swamps we've visited. Realtors can be crafty folk, taking photos of the land across the road while standing on the listed property. A little shady, if you ask me. Today we decided to go wandering up north and visit a listing sent to us by Realtor #4. It turned out to be fantastic. A little bit of woods, a lot of open space for a jersey cow, sheep, chickens, gardens, orchard, bees and solar! We're not getting our hopes up too high since we haven't seen a survey map yet, but this one may be a keeper!!
Signs of turkey and deer on the property.
A long rustic driveway.
Wild grasses and a gorgeous view.
On the way home, we decided to stop at one of our favorite lakes for a picnic and an afternoon of swimming.
It's really hard to eat corn on the cob with only one front tooth!
{Yes, I have three children! This one rarely gets his photo taken.}
A home for the crayfish.
The crayfish whisperer.
Who knows, maybe by next year this long winding road will bring us home.
Wishing you a happy weekend~
Here's to winding roads that lead to happy homes...
ReplyDeleteAck! So jealous. We are not ready yet to actually look for a homestead. Soon. Soon. Good luck, and here is to this one being the one!

Thanks, and cheers to you both!
ReplyDeleteawesome! Have you read Arms Wide Open or The Blue Cotton Gown? I just got a copy of AWO from the author and it's beautiful! All about her early days as a home-steader (but in a community) and midwife.
ReplyDeleteThat property looks beautiful Liz. Keeping you in my thoughts...
