i'll give you a minute to clean the drool off your computer keyboard. *grin*
she's beautiful isn't she?? i'm not sure why i'm giving this home a pronoun,
it just seems fitting and i think SHE deserves it.
though i have a strong appreciation for modern architecture,
old homes have a very special place in my heart.
i know they do for many as this type of architecture/building is rare anymore.
i especially love old homes with deep and large front porches.
nothing says 'welcome' more than a big front porch to me.
it's like a call to friends and neighbors saying, come on up, sit down
and enjoy a glass of ice cold lemondade and stay a while.
this home's wrap-around porch is AMAZING!!
this home hasn't always been so beautiful. it had fallen into years of neglect
and looked like something that could have easily bulldozed. she need some TLC.
fortunately my coworker d's in-laws gave her lots. here it is *before* the restoration.
she's come a long way...

a little bit more on this beauty:
- located on a 700 acre ranch in jasper, fl (along the georgia border)
- 10 bedrooms (i'll get the year it was built )
- the suwanee river and the florida trail run along the edge of the property
- the family allows some of the land to be farmed (some longhorn cattle)
- some areas are heavily wooded and have hidden caverns of limestone
- my coworkers wanted to get married here, but the logisitics didn't work
(it's literally in the middle of nowhere)
