We've been looking at property in Mountain Home for several months and finally found something we liked and closed on it on Friday. We couldn't really find any existing houses that had everything we wanted so we just found some land and will build a house. A couple of acres are cleared but most of it is thick woods. The picture below is an idea of where the front of the house will be.
Below is looking back toward the road from about the same spot. You can see the road a little better than the photo shows. But we will still have the privacy we want. MH is such a small town so privacy was at the top of our list. This property is actually in a development but it's outside the city limits and the lots are big so it seems like the country!
We also really wanted a creek which is why we had a little trouble finding a place we liked. This has the creek we wanted so I really think we'll like it there.
There is one big negative. A house is visible from certain areas of the creek. :( But we don't think we'll be able to see it from the house. You can see it in the middle of the photo below. In some areas it is more visible than that.
We were a little apprehensive about trying to build a house but it's too late now. We aren't the best decision makers so we may have bitten off more than we can chew! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can have it finished in a year because Brad has to start working July 2012.
Beautiful! What is Brad doing in the creek?
