Jonathan’s Mindless Blog

I have realized one of my very large life dreams.  We have purchased 60 acres of land in Joelton.  This is not just any land either, I’ve looked for over two years for some usable property where I could one day build a house and have a decent size farm.  I was thinking more along the lines of 20 to 30 acres, but God orchestrated it so that I could have more than I even dreamed of.  It’s rectangular in shape, about 680 feet wide and almost .8 miles deep.  It has 3 creeks, 2 springs, a pond, about 40 acres of fenced fields that currently have horses on them and about 20 acres of woods.  The fields are mostly flat, to gently rolling, and the woods have slopes that face all four directions (N, S, E and W).  It’s sloped to get up into the property, and after about 100 yards in, the road is no longer visible.  The neighbors on one side have huge houses and very large yards and the neighbors on the other side have fenced fields that look like they are used for hay.  The largeness of it all is still sinking in and I think it will be a long time before I fully comprehend the awesomeness of it, but in the meantime I’m going to enjoy hanging out on my own place where the dogs can run themselves silly!
