I bought this place in 2004 and even with a 35 mile drive to work, I don't regret it one bit. Nothing fancy but it works for us.



The previous owner had let the CRP and weeds grow inside the tree row and it looked like hell so I tilled it all up and planted 240 new trees.



I try to keep them clean with this:

What's that green stuff,....laying flat like....?

The wife put this flower garden and fence in while I was on a fishing trip last May.



There used to be two large evergreens in the front yard and once I cut them down this Ash took off into this:

That would be grass. It's pretty cool and feels good between your toes.

Lot's of mowing:



And tilling:





And grilling:

Just enough trees in the yard to keep the zero turn fun:

Well that's what I got for now. Let's see the place you call home.

This is where is spend time in the fall...



This is my summer home...

I've seen your pics. That some pretty fancy tile floors you have in your "summer home"

Our 1/4 mi lane road into the house is a PITA to maintain summer and winter but we could never go back to town after living out here since '83.

Nice place Woody. I couldn't go back to town either. No way.

As I've said before Ryan...livin the dream man. I love that part of the country.

I like solitude....
Here's my little shack....



Looking back down my drive.....



It's not always snow covered....this is what I see from my back door....



It's not always quiet either.....on this particular day my view from from the deck was interrupted by the forest service scooping up water to fight a fire across the river.....



It ain't much but it's paid for and the dogs like it.....

Good lookin place and nice looking hounds. Thanks for sharing!

Nice looking places! We live at the edge of a small town..
Quite for a town.. Little traffic.. I thought of getting a place out of town, but we travel quite abit, and it is nice to have neighbors who keep an eye on things while we are away..

Field, some spot you have there!! The view of the Clearwater is great.. The dogs awesome!

Another summer home, near a lake...

Do you lay the gun safe on it's back in there?
