The goal was to create a Homestead and live out the rest of our working years on the land and it was a good one! But it's probably no surprise that now that we're actually facing military retirement within a year, we're just not able to make that dream a reality at this time... It seems we're still too tied to "city life" and careers to come back down to earth.
And so it is with hesitation that we now offer a portion of our land for sale. The large cleared portion of it that was meant for gardens and orchards and grazing animals. But you see, we'd rather see it go to someone who will work it, then for it to sit there for another 10 or 15 years waiting for us to come around....
So here it is.... the little piece of paradise that we're willing to give up.... well, at least 33 acres of it...
Wide, open spaces....
Chock-full of wild flowers....
And wild berry patches....
And just wildlife in general....
But the most striking character of this land is the peace and quiet... The silence is worth it's weight in gold, interrupted only by the occasional birds, insects, rustling leaves, or the gentle sounds of the creek as you walk the west end of the property....
Now having said that, look down the access road that divides our property. We are planning to keep the 40 acres to the right, selling only the 33 on the left. Therefore, you always run the risk of having us as neighbors. But even the joyous noise of our three young children trolloping through the woods exploring is 10 times better than the noises of the city life we're leaving....
Lastly, it's a few miles away, but still the view at the end of our road is just priceless. Lake Superior and all that it entails... Porcupine Mountains to the left. Beach Park to the right.
And the charming little town of Ontonagon is within just a few quick miles...
So having said all that, here's hoping for a quick sale and lovely new neighbors!
Just beautiful! I wish I could live there!
