We did it!
We closed on the house in January, and we’ve spent every weekend out here since then.
I say we bought a house, but I think you can see from the picture that we really bought a project. But you have to admit, it does have a certain kind of rustic, cabin-in-the-woods charm. Or at least we think it does.
The lot is BEAUTIFUL. That’s what really drew us to the place. It’s covered in scrubby brush — it is Texas, after all — but there are also so many beautiful trees. Most of them are Hickory and Post Oak, but there are a handful of Pine trees as well, and some other trees I haven’t identified yet.
Much of the property is also covered in Yaupon Holly shrubs that have grown tall and winding and wild. They add to the overall scrubbiness of the property, but they’re such interesting evergreen trees that I don’t want to trim them back too much.
