Country roads beckon...
The Hunt has officially begun. Follow along? Yes! It is an adventure and exciting. There are so many possibilities. Perhaps too many...I admit there have been moments of overwhelment (is that a word?!)
Our patient, funny, go-to realtor asked us what we were looking for...
Hmmm. Well, we are looking for Peace, for Balance, for Tranquility.
Yes, but what kind of property are you looking for? Oh, nitty-gritty details? Like a 3bed-3bath bungalow sort of answer?!
Handsome Husband and I stare at each other and try to visualize the Perfect Place...
We see a Place with Natural Beauty, an Abundance of Trees, Room to Roam (but not too much), maybe, just maybe a little place on the Lake (dreaming big)...
Oh, And it has to be within an hour of our family here in north Texas...
Getting in to the dream, verbalizing gets easier, sort of...
It could be an existing home, it could be just land... It could have 2 acres, it could have 10... It could be a work in progress, it could be raw potential... we paused for breath.. and Roger the Realtor smiled... and got to work.
We have trekked miles this past week and seen much (see overwhelment reference above). Here is the score card for the first week of The Hunt...
Log Cabin on the Lake
Quaint, Charming, So adorable...
but you have to walk thru neighbor's yard to get to the lake...
Another Log home on the Lake with a Boat Dock!
A Sad, Swampy Boat Dock in Tree-stump infested Channel...
Next, we consider 2 acres of wooded land right next to a Community Boat Ramp...
Silted-In, Overgrown Boat Ramp.
No...
A House in the Hills...
All house...no usable land.
A Mansion on the Plains of West Texas...
Too far (3 hours away).
Quaint Ranch House in the Grove...
No livestock allowed.
5 Acres of Beautiful Wooded Land on the Lake...
Hiking the Property.
No restrictions...Livestock allowed...
45 minutes to family...
Within Budget...
Potential? yes. Character? yes.
Could this be a contender???
Heart beats faster, we hold our breath.
Hiking Path to the Lake from Property...
Sad, sad, view of lake...
Excitement sinks... Shoulder shrugs...
No...this is not the one.
Roger the Realtor promises new adventures next week.
After all,
True, so true.
Confusing sometimes... Difficult always, Yes?
Friendly dog in the road agrees.
But his curiousity got the better of him
and he wandered happily with us thru the woods on the Hunt :-)
May you find friendly traveling companions
this week wherever your Journey takes you!
