Cold is on the Right, Hot is on The Left
I won't lie, Ann, I'm scared to death! We haven't had a house payment in YEARS.
We've put a lot of work into this place, and everything we had said we want to do here, is already done there!
We were going to put in a pond and stock it...already there...
We're working on pasture fields now, that has a 1.5 acre pasture already fenced in! Just needs a gate!
The barn is 24x24 Uh..have ya'll seen my barns???
Plus, it would be OURS and no other family members would have any rights/say, etc. (Nor do we plan to tell them where we move to!)
There is a small barn shaped storage shed in front of the "house" that Ernie said I think would make a great coop and feed storage for the chooks.
I am telling ya'll, for us, this place is our dream. I've always wanted a place with a stream running through it, Ernie has always wanted a pond.
It has a WELL!!!!!!! and TWO not one but TWO outdoor spigots! One down by the barn (YEAH!!) and one close to the house.
We're making a plan, because we don't want to rush. We wouldn't be able to do much work on the house (it's not liveable the way it is) until Ernie has completely healed from his back surgery, which is an estimated 6 months. We're researching a farm loan, to see if that's the best route for us to take, or not....We are making money here where we are off our farm, not huge profits, but enough to get buy. We're thinking stay here while we are cleaning up the other place and making the payments. We can get the barn cleaned out (it's loaded with junk), get the grass mowed, clear out the stuff that is still there (previous owner passed away and left it all to his sister. She took what she wanted, left the rest.)
The realtor told us that what we see is what we get, except for the camper. There's a canoe, another boat behind the barn (not a bass boat, but one of those kinds you see people pulling skiers behind?), an almost new sectional couch in the livingroom, etc.
Oh and on the kitchen table, a stuffed squirrel on a log that scared the bejezus out of Ernie. NEVER have I seen him jump like that!
It's only been listed for 59 days. She said a lot of people have called about it, but we are the first ones to have asked to see the inside. She told us to remain optimistic when I told her I was scared. LOL
She's putting the topographic map and some other information in the mail to us tomorrow.
I have to resize the rest of the pics I have and load them to photobucket...then I'll post more.
eta: Best part is, we wouldn't "technically" lose any ground! We have 6.5 acres here, and that's 6.65 acres. I always thought we had 7 acres, until we had this place surveyed. We lost 10 feet all the way around! And my apple trees!

Maybe I am wrong about that but judging from your past posts I think you must be a long lost sister ... my family acts just like yours! 
Might check into it. Who knows, right?
