Pics from the new place (interesting day)...

We're currently under contract to buy this 40 acres, so the wife and I had a couple of buddies meet us out there today to do our final walk-through prior to closing to make sure there weren't any toxic waste dumps, etc. on the property. A few pics:

My truck at the front of the property:


Small pond (1 of 2) near the front:


About a third of the way back into the property, heading into a lower pasture beneath some woods:


Blind down in the pasture:


View looking down at the pasture. About 200 yards beyond the boundary of this land, there is a very heavily wooded creek bottom.


One of the fence lines. If you look to the right side of the picture, you can get a feel for the elevation change from the upper wooded are to the pasture bottom.


Finally, it rained all day and my buddy got his truck stuck. Literally out of nowhere, this incredibly nice guy goes cruising by in this military ATV. It took him all of about 2 seconds to pull a truck burried in mud up to its axle out.



Anyway, again, it's only 40 acres, but I'm pretty fired up about the place. We saw an absolute ton of doves, and perhaps most importantly, we saw these all over the place:

Oh MY STARS. Did you see the size of that buck print? Great big fat toes, pointed out like I like'em. Congratulations on a wonderful, wonderful place. Trees, pasture, creek bottoms, it has it all doesn't it?

Congrats on finding a place you can call yours. Looks like fun for years to come.

Nice place . Enjoy .

Nice place man. That looks like the same guy that got us out of the mud a few years ago.

Not sure how the deer are. I know from walking it today that there are a lot of them around (tracks everywhere), but I don't think they typically get very big in the area.

I don't really care though. I just wanted a place I could go to get out of the city. The asking price was more than I could afford, but I offered the absolute top of my budget because I've looked at a lot of places and this one was really exactly what I wanted. I didn't offer too much lower than asking, and fortunately the seller accepted.

Hope there aren't any issues with the appraisal, as that's probably the only thing that would prevent a clean close at this point.

nice looking 40

Nice place im glad to see some rain down there slap a leveling kit and some mudders on that truck

Pretty looking place, good luck!

nice

very nice, i would love to own a place like that. Maybe one of these days.

I'm jealous. We would love to have a place like that ourselves. Congrat's. I'd be fired up too.

Are you gonna call it the Back 40?

I was going to call it "The 40 Acres", but wanting in no way to associate it with the Texas Longhorns, I'm instead going to name it, "The Straight 40 Acres".

ZING!

Actually, I'm not really sure what to call it. It's not a ranch, it's not a farm, it's not "the lease"...

"Place out near Caldwell" might be the best I can come up with.

Any name you give it will be cool. That's a beautiful piece of Texas right there. You oughta be very happy.

I bought 24 acres and moved to Grandview 16 years ago and would be hardpressed to ever move back to the city again. Matter-of-fact, I am looking for some property to buy down towards the hill country to be able to get away to when needed.
