| Tobacco Barn July 2014, exterior repairs finished |
Our little farm was once a much bigger property with a white
clapboard farm house, a hand well pump and many outbuildings and barns. The original old farmhouse burnt down in the
1950’s and the property set neglected for many years.
In 1967 the property was divided up and sold at auction. A builder bought the current property and built a custom brick ranch on the exact spot where the old white clapboard farm house used to be.
The new house overlooked a large pond and pastures. He also built a large pole barn and raised cattle.
After 25 years, the builder divided up the property a little
more and sold more land and then sold the house too. The second owner stayed for approximately 20 years. While here he drained the pond and built
another pole barn for horses. We are the third owners.
