Amazing!! My mom would love your house (I do too!), but she's always wanted a big wrap around porch like that. And you are so secluded (or so it seems), that's the best!!!

Beautiful place you have there Bill. I'm so envious of the woodlands, and that porch is fantastic.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my place. This plan had always been our dream house but because of work was never settled enough to build it. After a 5 year project, the last 3 being in the Netherlands i ask GE to leave me alone for a year so I could build a house. I contracted the framing,
heating and air, plumbing and Sheetrocking. The rest of the house I did everything myself and have been working on it now for 15 years. We love our porches a lot but now I'm working on a 400 sq ft covered patio in the back under my sunporch. We often wonder what 2 people need with a house and property this size and envy those in garden homes. I guess the grass is always greener.

We are lucky to be on acreage and all my neighbors are on large acreage also. We are very secluded in the country but are also within 15 miles from some of the best shopping in the southeast. When we moved to Chelsea, 15 years ago, we were getting away from the congestion but now it is moving out to us.

Born and Raised in Alabama. Lived a third of my life away School, Navy, Work.
I have lived in many states and only considered retiring in Virginia (Roanoke) other than Alabama. Roanoke's Appalachian terrain is very similar to the area
where I grew up in Birmingham.(Bluff Park)

Awesome house and property! I love seeing where other people live. My dream is to have a working farm with lots of dogs, cats, llamas, alpacas, goats, horses... well, I can dream!
