Hi Katheryn,
Congrats on finding such a wonderful piece of property. I hope the final stages of your house planning and loan goes through smoothly. Just think this time next year you will preparing to celebrate your first Thanksgiving in your new home.

Still in waiting mode. I haven't wanted to update because I don't want to jinx the (really long) process. We had our house plans drawn up...nothing over the top and our builders came back with a price that was $125,000 (not a typo) over the TOP of our budget! We asked for a breakdown of the costs but that was before Thanksgiving and we have not heard anything since. We lost over three months on that builder. After moving to someone else we still have to have the previous architect complete the blueprints, have a perk test, survey the property lines, and get another appraisal.
As long as this is taking I know there is a reason. We have been able to almost completely pay off our credit cards, my home business exploded in revenue, my best friend is moving back from England and is buying a house from the same family that owns our land. The house happens to share the property line with our land! On top of that some dear friends who moved to MI two years ago are moving back and they are buying the last 7 acres from the same family (who is selling us our land) and they will live across the lane. Being that there is a grand total of 7 homes on the entire one lane road this is somewhat of a miracle. Double miracle because these two families happen to have my oldest sons two best friends who moved away within 24 hours of each other! If you followed all that congratulations. :)
I still am not going to post pictures until I have a deed in hand. So afraid of jinxing the whole thing.

Kathryn,
Congrats. We have 10 1/2 acres half way between Milltown,In. and Hardinsburg,In. . Which about 45 minutes from Louisville. We too are going to build a house and are having Razloff builders build for us. Very happy with the info in the meeting with them.

Oooo Kathryn, I hope everything goes smoothly for you! We are in the process of purchasing our first home and little farm (home on 2.58 acres!) and I know how stressful this stuff can be.....

Hello, Kathryn,
I was wondering how things have been going with you and your plans. Sure wish everything will soon fall into place for you. How exciting to have so many friends close by. Sure wish I had close neighbors...I don't even know the names of people on our road.
Yesterday we bought a mobile home to put on our land, either for the former owner of the land or if he doesn't like the home, it will be used as a guest house visitors and an office for dh. It will be moved to our property in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, dh will be wiring my "little house" for me so that I can finally get my craft/sewing things out of our tiny home. Things take time but for me, the wait will be worth it.
Please let us all know when your plans are finalized.
