Hubbit and I have reached a deal on really neat piece of property. Our 'bit of the Shire' including rolling hills above, and the river Withywindle below...
Wide view (North is screen-left)
Close up:
It's 19 acres total, kindof an "L" shaped property including about a third of a mile along the creek. The neighboring properties to the north and east are timber areas full of trails and logging roads to ride... And previous owners have made and tended paths and trails long the creek and in the woods, with bridges over the little streams that flow down into the creek. In the fall, there is a salmon run on the creek. It's a little like owning our own private park.
We have loan prequalification and a great loan officer pulling for us, the inspection is tomorrow on the house. The house is a bit dated, and we'll need to do some work to freshen it up... new paint and carpet, but we just couldn't be more proud and excited about this great find.
