Well this is kind of an experiment, me trying to learn how to post a picture. If it turns out alright you will see about 10 of the 85 acres I have. The garage along the driveway is 25'x38'. I just remodeled it this past winter and it has a one bedroom guest house on the second floor. From the outside you wouldn't think that there was much there, until you get in and realise that is is actually a lot bigger than it looks. The barn is 40'x60' by 32' to the peak in the upper level. There is also a lower level with 8' ceiling. The barn was built sometime in the early 1900's. It has chestnut and oak siding and a slate roof. People are constantly amazed at how wonderful of condition it is in. The house is kind of hard to see but it is the white between the pine trees. In January the Amish will be siding and roofing it to match the garage. The pond in the front is just under a 1/4 acre. The one in the back is 2 acres. I rent the tillable acreage out to a local farmer as I don't have the equipment or the desire to farm it myself. You can see a wagon loaded with straw ready to be hauled away along the second driveway(this leads to a gas well that is on the property)
My wife and I have considered building a new house and have gone as far as looking for new property. However we have not found anything that has anything close to the setting we have now. We hired an architect to design an addition, however after $1500 in fees we came to the realization that it would never be exactly what we wanted. So for now we are going to make the outside look more presentable along with some minor changes on the inside. Plus the fact that we have 2 gas wells on the property and get free natural gas is a benefit also. We don't want to build a new house on the existing property as it sits on a dirt road that is very dusty and there is no way to keep the vehicles clean during the winter and spring. So for now this is home until we find somewhere that we would rather be. Thanks for taking the time to view our home.
