We drove a little over an hour west to reach our friend’s house for the Christmas in July party I mentioned last week. And when we left our town, the weather was not cooperating.

Thankfully it was drier in her neck of the woods and let me tell you, the property she recently purchased definitely qualifies as out of the way.

After a long ride on a bumpy dirt road, her place came into view.

As you can see, her main reason for buying this place was ample room for horses.
The house is a bit odd. It looks large, but isn’t…. with a surprisingly small kitchen and bedrooms.
.
.
Numerous outbuildings are scattered around, as are decks and staircases.
.

One of which….

Lead to goats. Boots, Buckles and Gypsy to be precise.
Did I mention there’s a pool?

To be continued…

Cool house…

Maybe -while you’re there- you need to show them how it works (take pictures) so they can see how much fun ‘jumping’ can be.

Wow….I’m more impressed about the baby goats than the pool. Which looks like it’s getting worked on at the moment. But, there are goats! lol

Nice goat photo. The walkways and stairs are fascinating. Would hate to be responsible for their upkeep.

I can’t imagine having to stain or paint them.

You should see the hill that leads to the back door parking lot. Think ski slope….

When can I visit? Can I feed goats and horses from the pool?
It looks heavenly.

You can’t feed them from the pool. Unless you have a really good throwing arm….

That was my thinking. Hope she’s only 20 and there’s a pulley system or she’ll be shacking up with the ponies in no time. Maybe she won’t mind, knowing horse people.

She’s 55 and single. The yard work and mowing alone is daunting, not to mention the maintenance on a house and five outbuildings.

This place is sure to keep her young . . . unless it prematurely ages her.

It will keep her young… or kill her. Tough call.
