This is the view on the western side, the side we fell in love with. We drove out this way, summer of 2006,to look at
another property and thought this might be part of it. But it wasn't. We were disappointed and told our realtor, Dianne Cade,
that this property was just what we were looking for. She made call after call for us and finally made it happen. Instead
of 10 acres, we ended up with 21.46.
We are building a house, a 2000 sg ft. workshop, and a garage with three bed/bath above. Here is a google map with sites of
local interest:

This is a lovely picture that Barb's brother-in-law, Scott Norman, took in Feb. 2007.

Feb. 2007. Scott took this picture which looks toward the wetland area at the back of the property from the road coming
on the property. About 700 feet in (of 1322 feet length)
Feb. 2007. Scott took this picture. We are walking west on the work road behind the property.
A view from Bennet Road taken by Scott, which shows the front part of the row of magnolias that we bought from Robinson
Tree Farm. When we had the survey done, the boundary went thru a row of magnolias on the back east side. Larry was so great
about moving the trees, and making sure that they would have water until we are able to get irrigation started. They are going
to be so beautiful!

A painted horse on the Smith pasture behind our property. It was a beautiful day, and the horses were all frisky. This
mare especially.
(The following pictures from Dec. 2006) After we finally own the property, we took the family out to look at it. Roger,
Joe, and Patrick laid out the site with Laurie's help. Pat picked out the homesite on the day we signed the intent to buy
- he was the first in the family to see the site!
