Lovely @Esther Knapicius .....forgive me if I am wrong ( often am) but your pic has reminded me of something I've seen before......did you by chance post a time lapse series of pics of this view......if so then it was quite stunning

I am eyeing up the leaf mould potential!!

a week


again, cool property!

Is that an old barn foundation where the car is parked?

Yes...funny story about that foundation. When we bought this house 23 years ago, the property was split by the road we live on. The house stood on 3+ acres; across the road was 5+ acres. We were only buying the house and 3+ acres. As part of the purchase contract, we wanted the owners to get a variance from the township so we could rebuild the barn. The barn foundation is only 4 feet off the road as was the way they built them way back when the road was nothing but a dirt road. The new ordinance for buildings was a set back of at least 30 feet from the road. One night I got a call from the Real Estate agent. She said she had good and bad news. I told her to give me the bad news first. She said the township would not give a variance because the barn foundation had not had a barn on it in more than 1 year (probably many more!). If it had only been a year, we could rebuild without the variance, but since it was more than the year, if we wanted to build a barn, we would have to set it back at least 30 feet from the road. I told her not to worry...so, we can't build the barn. Then, she told me the good news. The Sellers were afraid we might pull out of the contract because of this, so they decided to give us the 5 acres on the other side of the road to sweeten the deal. So, instead of 3+ acres, we wound up with 8+ acres for the same price!

In 2005, we bought the little house and 7+ acres adjacent to our house, so we have 15 acres now. The little house only has 3 rooms.

Here's a pic I took from my home office on the 2nd floor just a few minutes ago. Looks like it is going to clear up for this afternoon

How lucky you were.. Free acres of land... I think it's a good idea have build barns or houses further away from road, just in case an oil tanker caught fire, not that it would your way. Such a big country, why stress people have buildings so near the road?
