Show off your piece of heaven!!!

[Brandi*]

I have seen a lot of posts for barn pictures but I haven't really seen any for property. I would love to see pics of your pastures, meadows, trails, facilities, homes and whatever else you would like to share. Its always fun to see how others set up their acreage. So please post away. I will be waiting :lol:

I've said it 100x. My place is nothing fancy and not big. Only fancy thing here would be the horses :bgrin But I love it. It's my favorite place in the world because it's where all my favorite things usually are (husband, dogs and horses).

We bought this horse farm in northern FL 3 yrs ago.

: very nice looking places

Here is our house.... we waited TWO years for it.. It waited for us. I can't believe that someone didn't buy it in that amount of time. We actually got it for what we offered the owners two years before!!!!!We made the offer and sold our home in two weeks. It was awesome!

We have over five acres and a six stall mini barn. We love it here.

WOW what wonderful places!!! I just love all the trees!!!!! I need to plant more trees around here

We came by our "Piece of Heaven' quite by accident, literally.

Not that we hadn't always dreamed of having our own place with

the kids at home, where we could watch out the window and see

them grazing contentedly. However, our home was at our business.

It took the floods of last November, in the Puyallup Valley, that wiped

our community out to get us here, in beautiful Montesano, Washington.

God moves in mysterious ways and this is where we happily hang

our hat these days.

And to make it more perfect, the new baby that waited to be born at our new home.

Everyone has such beautiful places.

We love the new farm...even though we have to start over with everything.

Do not have any good pictures of the sheds...but here is some of the pastures.

One area of the main pasture..

The other side

The wee Farm house

What a great thread! Everyone's bits of heaven are wonderful! I LOVE the yellow house! Here's ours, which is a work in progress, and truly is a gift from God. We have a 40 acre pasture for the big guys and then 10 acres for the minis and wee ones where our home and barn will be. It is in the back of a 600 acre parcel of hills, woods, meadows etc which we have permission to ride in. And all this is inside a several thousand acre cattle ranch. Our driveway (which is not quite finished yet) is 1.5 miles long with a bridge made from a flatbed railroad car. Our home will be attached to the barn by a breezeway that has a tiny meeting area and tiny commercial kitchen in it. We will conduct our clinics here along with being a christian "sanctuary" with seasonal guest rooms in the barn's partial loft. So, you have to kind of imagine all that put into these pix

: Some of these pix were taken in spring and early winter. The last two pix were taken of our closest neighbors when they visited

: Thanks for letting me share.

what beautiful places everyone has and i must say, i've seen a lot of our country but i think wyoming is absolutely, positively stunning!

i'm so envious of everybody who has green grass!!! we live on sand so grass is just a fleeting thought. *sigh*

we live on 20 acres of family-owned land. hubby and i claimed the back 5 or 6 acres as ours. his mom and brother/family live at the other end so it's very private where we are. although you see a street sign, that's just something we put there for fun. if we get visitors, they are either family, invited guests or somebody who is hopelessly lost. if you get this far, the lane ends at our yard. :bgrin

a closer view. our place is a 16' x 80' mobile home and situated so that i can look out any window on the front of the house and see my horses. hubby planned it that way.

:

the view from our front deck. the big building is an amish-built hay barn. i can get about 400 bales in there and i also store my easy entry cart there.

part of our back yard. we have a fountain at one end of the big deck and a hot tub at the other end.

we built this patio with a fire ring in the center several years ago. it's where we spend the biggest part of the fall. wiener roasts pretty much every weekend.

we are surrounded by woods up here at our place but this is the view at the entrance to our private lane. farm fields as far as the eye can see.

and when you leave our lane, we have miles and miles of roads with virtually no traffic. the only people we see are the people who live up and down this road and since the farms are miles apart, we rarely even see them. this is usually the direction i head when i am driving red.

"a little piece of heaven" is such an accurate description. we both hate to leave home and have often said we'd make really good hermits.

cool thread! love to see where everybody calls home!

 

[The Dynamic Duo]

OK outlawridge, I am officialy in love with your property! I grew up in Montana and that looks just like home even though its in Wyoming.

 

[MBhorses]

:new_shocked: wow

great places.

outlawridge love your place, you must have alot of land. i love it.

 

[outlawridge]

Thank you! We are so very grateful to live here and can't wait till we get everything built.

Once it's all ready, we sure hope to get visitors so all are welcome! Alyx, if you get homesick for MT you just come on over and stay awhile,

: and we're only 30 miles from the MT border too.

Here is an aerial picture of our piece of heaven, we moved here coming up 6 years this December and we love it, 40 acres of peace with our sheep, minis, dogs, ducks and cats :bgrin

This picture shows the horse barn in the background

Good thread, I enjoy seeing everybody's places, they are all lovely.

Love seeing those "horsey" properties!

We live on the edge of Sioux City.......big hills behind our barn, and love it.

This was our barn in a blizzard in March.............that's right, it's not always green and lush around here.

Our north pasture on a 13 degree winter day.

Summer..........running for the barn.

Well if you ask me in about one month from now I might have something to show you.

We bought our place from a video that a relator sent us and she neglected to show us the fine points. When we bought this place our house was un-livable it was so bad and the property was a junk yard. It took us one full year of weekends to haul the crap off to the dump. We are constantly remodeling this old house but getting very sick and tired of it nickle and diming us to death so we just might tear the whole thing down in the spring if we can afford it and and begin over.

Presently we are re-fencing every inch of this place finally. Most of my fences are mashed and wrecked because we never hooked up the new hot wire after we built the barn. Our fences were moved a million times "temporarily" as we built the new barn so now we have to re-fence it all from the very beginning. We have two fields finished and 4 more to go. Should be done in a few more weekends. Then I can show ya something nice I hope.

 

[Floridachick]

I love all the places. I miss seeing the snow, but not living in it! MT or WY is gorgeous too. I love to see all the open area for our horses to run. THanks for sharing> AWSOME flowerbed too!
