Moving North (Just a little)

So, I'm moving the farm. The dogs, cats, chickens, goats and I are moving to Pickens, South Carolina. This is the new (to me) house. It's very small so I have a lot of stuff to get rid of before I move. I'll be posting a list of furniture to see if anyone wants any of it. It's kinda plain from this angle, but it's cozy and homey with hardwood floors and a nice little kitchen. Contrary to appearance, there is no fireplace. After I get settled my mother will be moving in with me.

My favorite picture of the house is this one. I love this deck off of the dining room, but the best part is what's in the background here, the barn. It's hard to see in this photo, but there are already three fenced pastures in front of the barn.

The pictures are from the real estate listing. As usual, I neglected to take pictures when I was there. The tractor in the barn apparently doesn't come with the house. I even offered to buy it but haven't heard an answer. It is a horse barn, but I think the goats can make do. There is a third stall on the other side and a tack room. I think the tack room might become a pottery studio.

There is also a chicken coop and another small outbuilding that could be a duck house, another chicken coop or something else. 

Behind the barn, on the other side of the line of fir trees is a mega Baptist Church. They'll probably get used to having me next door eventually.

The view from the front living room window is Reece Mountain. Down the road a mile or two are Turkey Cock Mountain, Nine Times Nature Preserve and Nine Time Forest, the last two with trails that allow dogs. Kodi approves.

Reece Mountain is also the view from the kitchen window. My mother has always loved traveling to the mountains to see the leaves change in the fall. All she will have to do now is sit in the living room and look across the road. I might even get her to help with the dishes. I'll let her decide if she wants her recliner in the living room or dining room.
