Our Property

We were looking for room to run, keep livestock, raise families, and of course room to play. We also wanted to be within 30 minutes of places like churches, grocery stores, hospitals, and all the rest. What did we find? 35 heavily wooded acres, with the Pike National Forest as the backyard. Pike National Forest is 1.1 million acres in the eastern front range of the Rocky Mountains, offering motorcycle trails, hiking trails, spectacular views of some of Colorado's 14er's, and hunting (I can't wait!). How do we have access to all of that acreage and yet live close enough to town? You'll have to check with my Heavenly Father for that one!

I am sure the phrase "If you don't like the weather in Colorado...wait 10 minutes." has passed your ears before, but I can confirm that the saying is true. In the summer when we moved there was sun for 30 minutes to a couple hours, then random rain for about 20 minutes, and on and on....This winter has been extremely light, which is good, but also bad. Our driveway has been seen by a number of hard core Coloradans and they have all told us that we have one of the worst driveways in the state. Very steep, and shady (so the ice won't melt), and we still have a car from California which doesn't make it up without tire chains. That's the good part, that we don't have to deal with a lot of snow and this ridiculous car. The bad part is that we need all the water we can get, and without much snow....not much water, sadly.
I have a potential building site for my home, and Levi will be taking this house that's on the property now. Mom and Dad will have either a small cottage type house, or an attached suite on one of our houses. We also have a couple spots in mind for a barn, and other outbuildings.

When (not "if") you visit our place, we pray that you are able to enjoy the peace & quiet, the trees, the river, the deer, and good company.
