Yippie Skippie! I got my ranch!
« on: October 16, 2005, 03:06:57 am »
Just wanted to share a few pics of the ranch my husband bought me! We are moving the week after Thanksgiving to SE Alabama/SW Georgia. I've got 135+ acres (80 acres of rolling hills pasture with trees, and 55 acres of mixed hardwood forest.) We'd move in early Nov, but must resolve the fence issues first. Electric and barbed wire do not mix with small children.

So, I won't be on BPO as often until probably after the Christmas/New years holidays, but will be thinking of everyone often. I'll try to be on every Monday evening, but if any one needs to get in touch with me, jusy pm...I check my email twice a day.

And of course you all know what this means.......MO RE DOGS! More Kuvasz and Great Pyrenees to come! Lot's more pics!  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, we have horses, but will need to get donkeys to help keep predators away. So, I'll send you some pics when we do.

Maybe someday you'll get a ranch too! If not, you can always come for a visit! :)

Congrats! Welcome to Alabama.  That is a great looking property.  It looks like there is some field fence.  That is what we have and our two Pyrs do great.  Your babies are going to love having all that room to run and play.

Wow, those pics are amazing.  No overgrowth at all, which is great for so much land.

Me and my hubby plan on getting some land at some point. It will have to wait probably another 10 yrs at least, but I would love to have 50+ acres (I'd like to have around 500, but I'd take 50+  8) ).  The south seems to be the only place to get that much land, still have trees and get a house that's not a trailer.  :D

Thanks everybody!

Cindy, that is Early County, GA! What a coincidence! My husband took a position in Dothan, we had to decide either buy this or build in Headland, AL (151 acres with sand bottom stream.) The other land , believe it or not, was more beautiful. I just didn't want to buy a house in town and land, and clear, build, etc. Then sell the monster of a house in town. So we drive a little, but it will be worth it.

Maybe March we could do an AL, FL, GA BPO meet. I'm game. But, a National will have to wait a year or two, BabsT....but, I don't know why we couldn't in the future! ;D
