Before we’d head for the Outdoor Retailer Show, F and I had put in an offer on a lot in Ridgway. As life circumstances changed, the question became do we forfeit our earnest money or does one of us purchase the land solo? After thinking about the question for a week, I decided to go for it.
Last Wednesday, it became official, my very own chunk of land in my most favorite town:
After signing paperwork, Sprocket and I headed over to the property with a bottle of prosecco to toast our future.
I’d say the views from here are pretty sweet. Who knows what the future holds but I do know, we’re a lucky pair.
Love it! For some reason I thought you already owned a large chunk of land down that way?
We jointly own 40 acres about 15 miles north of town. I realized last summer, however, that is too far outside of town! I like walking around town and talking with people. It’s for sale though, know anyone who wants a quiet place with amazing views??
Gotcha. Man, if it was a couple years in the future, we’d likely be interested 🙂 Alas, gotta pay for some other stuff first!
Congratulations!
The Jeep is totally parked on the dirt hill isn’t it? lol!
I had to get a 2nd story view!
Congratulations, Beth.
And Sprocket looks so handsome in that last shot
Yay! Congratulations, lady! I hope you and Sprocket have many more prosecco-worthy things to celebrate on that land in the years to come!
Lovely, Beth. Might that homeowner’s tool kit turn into a homebuilder’s tool kit? I could totally see you tackling a project of that scale eventually!
I don’t think I’ll tackle the building project. There’s so much I don’t know! But I am excited for reentering homeownership in the near-ish future.
I wish my dad was around, he could lend me all the knowledge I needed to get it done.
So very excited for you!
This is fantastic! so incredible!!! <3 YAY!
Excellent choice, Beth! You could not have picked a better area, it is very near and dear to my own heart.
