Our Land in Mississippi

Here is our land that we own in Mississippi. It is a 2-acre lot with plenty of trees lining the back! We have not begun building yet--but we are meeting with our builder this Wednesday. Maybe we will begin in the Spring. We are still trying to decide how much we need to save up in order to have a manageable mortgage. Jonathan has been "blazing a trail" through our wooded area so that we can reach our lot from Keri and Andrew's house. He has also been marking pretty trees (while they still have their leaves)and trees we might want to transplant from the back of our land to the front of our land.He is very excited about owning land!


This is the house in a subdivision we saw and fell in love with way back in March. When we first saw this house, it was just framed out. We realized then that we loved the floorplan, and when we came back in April, we saw the drywalled rooms and got a good feel for the size.

This picuture was taken back in May--which was when we contacted the builder and asked him if he would build this same house (with a few changes) on our land. He came to visit our land and said it was a great place to build this house.
This is just another view of that same house. It is a Donald Gardner house--We have seen many of his designs on the internet and loved many of them!!

This house is a 3-bedroom 1500 sq. foot house. (This particular house was built to only be a ranch with some attic space.) When we build it, we plan to make the upstairs expandable--We won't finish it now, but we want to make it accessible for future use.
