AW, we bought a new house!

Well, after much debate we bought a new house.

My husband has successful moved a North Hills girl south although not quite as far south as he originally wanted. The house is in Collier and about 2 minutes from Settlers Cabin.

Weird thing was we were about to put an offer in on a house in Ross (which I loved) then one of the secretaries called him to say her neighbor was selling. I will admit it hurts to move south, but the house is on 6.5 acres and while it has a bit too much knotty pine for my taste (which I have been assured can be removed), I really like it.

  • Congrats! And welcome to my neck of the woods - ha! It really is a great area to live in:)

    Nice! Congrats (again) since I posted same thing in other post. My hubby would be very jealous of your 6.5 acres. That is his dream to have if we ever move.

    This is my husband's dream house. It also has a huge detached garage that is heated and he is thinking of installing a lift in.

    In the deal, we now will also have a quad since that is what they use to cut the grass.

    Well, he wanted further out (Washington Co., Imperial, Oakdale) Collier was a nice compromise for me.

  • Congratulations!!  We currently live in Scott but are on the hunt for a house in Collier. We love the district but want some more space - house and land. 6.5 acres would be ideal for my outdoorsman husband. Happy moving!

    My husband has actually been hunting the neighboring property for years! We really lucked into this house, she hadn't even listed it yet. It definitely needs work and I will admit I was not overly thrilled about it at first (that damn knotty pine is everywhere) but it has a lot of potential and was a lot cheaper than my first choice.

    This is seriously 4 years in the hunt! We have been looking forever (our agent actually retired before we found a house!) because DH and I have very different wants.

  • congrats! finding a dream house is certainly worth the wait!
  • Well, we'll miss you in the North but I'm so glad you found something you both like! Can't wait to see it! :)

  • Congratulations!  I am a north girl living in the west and I'm starting to realize it's not so bad.  Robinson has some really great stores and restraurants that the north can't offer.
     
  • Congrats!!  Welcome to the South. :)
  • 6.5 acres! 

    I don't think the N/S hills people ought to hate on each other... it's all pretty much the same (and beautiful). :)

     Welcome to the south!  And you can get to Ross on a Saturday morning in <20min anyway. ;)
