I was dead set on building a modern cabin village in nature. There was just one problem — I had no land.
So each day for months, I scoured Zillow. Nothing. I scrolled every nook and cranny of neighbors’ properties on google earth, and tried my hardest to buy what wasn’t for sale. Nothing.
But early on the morning of March 5th, 2021, still lying in bed, I opened my phone and saw a brand-new listing.
Just seven minutes from home.
I’d driven past this place dozens of times — and never thought a single thing of it. Just a thick wall of trees from the road.
But the listing had a drone shot, and there, hidden in the trees, was a small pond.
An hour later, I was shaking hands with the listing agent.
We pulled on mud boots and ventured into the thicket.
