We got some bad news a couple of weeks back....Keith's brother, who owns the property where we've been living, asked us to move. Now, this had been the plan all along, except that we'd expected to be there at least another year before finding our own little piece of the Ridge. Nevertheless, we stepped into our Big Boy (and Girl) pants, and started looking.
After numerous jaunts across the county, looking at house after house, and tons of land, I finally found these gorgeous pics online, and KNEW that This Was It! I told Keith that he needed to take Mom and Dad to see this piece in the morning without fail, and if he got the same vibe from it that I had, he should waste no time. Needless to say, they did, and he did, and they signed the papers pronto!
Now this unbelievable six-acre piece of real estate, located on the upper part of Stoney Creek on the sides of Iron Mountain, will, in three short weeks, be ours.
As you can see from the pics, the property is heavily forested, and is covered with the most enormous ancient rhododendron bushes, some upwards of 15 to 20 feet tall. The road itself (seen in the first pic) is gravel, and there are only two other families that live on it. In next three pics, you can see parts of the driveway (or what, at one time was a driveway), looking from the road.
Another pic of the road. There is also a huge 20' x 20' deck, sturdy enough to build a house on, and that's no exaggeration! At one time, someone bought the property with the intentions of doing something, but got no further than running a water line and a temporary electrical pole so that they could park an RV there. Lucky for us....we won't have to pay to have all that done!
Just goes to show what God can use for our good, especially when what we originally think is the worst of news is given to us!
