Making the offer!!!

Is this the house of the future??? The view from the southeast

It isn't much to look at and it has it's issues but we're making an offer today.  We spent about 2 and a half hours out there, walking the perimeter of the property, going over all the buildings and talking offering price.  I'm really happy with the agent we have representing us.  He evidently went out to the property earlier in the week by himself and had already made notes of lots of things. He had called the company that services the well and septic and asked about records for all those things.

From the drive, looking west at the barn and pole building.

Ok, looking at this, maybe I don't want my garden here.  It seems really wet, even with the gravel and sand base. With the weather sunny and 50 we had more time and motivation to wander the property so I was able to scope out several other places for a garden so maybe this is out.

The house needs LOTS of work- V will have his hands full (as will I) but here is the biggest selling point:

The view from the deck to the south. Heaven!!

The kids had so much fun playing in the creeks.  There are, I think, 4 creeks that converge on the property.  Where they join there is a tiny pool where K9 discovered a little fish, which tells me that there is likely water there year round.  To me, that means that at least one of these creeks is spring fed rather than just being intermittent drainage.  

I have tons more pictures, lots of the children exploring- I'll try to post some more later.  Now, lets just hope they like our offer.
