Ok, so here's the house. This pic is taken from the smaller barn from across the road. The road dead ends here. Actually it dead ends into a gate that goes onto the ajoining farm land of about 100++ acres which is used only to keep about 20 or so head of cattle. Maybe some day we can acquire that land if it ever goes up for sale (someday maybe...it would be nice) In other words, if someone drove back this far, and they aren't there to check on the cattle, then they don't need to be there. 🙂 As I mentioned, in one of the other pics, the porch wraps around the front and sides of the house.

Nice!

Wow!

very nice.... Congrats!

pretty cool Dave..

I always liked homes with wrap around porches...

That really is gorgeous.

Will you be living there?

Damn nice house Dave

who's the little old lady in the window upstairs..??

SAWEET!

Very nice!!

#6 It isn't a permanent residence. However, the family will spend lots of time there since it's not far from home. Just to clarify, my dad just recently bought the place. He's talked about owning farmland for years. Now that the family has grown (i.e. grandchildren) that has helped expedite finding a place. I know I've been saying "our property" and stuff, but he plans to keep this "in the family" for quite some time. How long? Who knows. Basically, it's about "making memories" as he puts it. Not only will it be used by immediate family, but he'll probably also have mini "retreats" there with the men from church. And my mom will probably do the same. She likes to paint, and she will take her painting friends there to set up easels and paint their little hearts out. Speaking of "paint." I plan to engage in a little painting myself...paint-balling. LOL

#8, I'll just refer to her as "mama" right now. 🙂

^ WOW JUST WOW !!!

I'm glad that hard work has paid off for someone in these hard times !!

enjoy it with your family! you all have earned it!!

Nice, except...I think I see Norman Bates's mother in the upstairs window.

Beautiful !!

wheel,,

Pac, refer to one of the other farm pics where I already referred to the "old lady in the window" as "mama." 🙂

Yikes

#13, Charlie, if there isn't one built yet, he will and we will help him. Then we have a whole house to herf in soon. 🙂

Probably won't be any smoking in the house, but there's plenty of porch space to sit under if it rains...plus a couple of barns. Maybe have a hoe down...and I ain't talk'n 'bout SteveR's mama. LOL

#19 We have a covered porch at Casa de Pacman. Nowhere near as big as this, but still room for 4-5 people to sit. This time of year, it's a great place to smoke. Plus it keeps the neighbors away.
