Chris and I have been casually looking for land for over a year now. We weren't able to find exactly what we wanted until some friends of ours mentioned that they had bought 10 acres on High Rock Road, which is only a mile from where we live now. There were two additional lots for sale, but very little was posted about them. Chris and I decided to walk both properties a few times in the late spring/early summer and loved the trees and the creeks on the middle property. Although it had many challenges with getting a driveway cut in and we weren't sure of how well it would perc, we decided to make an contingent offer in July. Our final offer was accepted on Thursday, August 4th. Long story short, we had Alan Clapp do the perc test and found out that there was only one usable Type A perc site at the rear of the property and one Type B site where we wanted to build the house. My uncle Ronnie walked the land with us and we decided to adjust our offer. The final, FINAL offer was accepted mid-September and we closed on Thursday, September 22nd.
Chris began cutting in a driveway on Saturday, October 1st. (Allie helped, too!) It was a great day to be outdoors. We are trying our best to work around all the beautiful beech trees and do most of the work ourselves. We are so excited!!
