I'm daydreaming about my own little piece of heaven. I will make it happen ... one day!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Caldwell barn in the Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smoky Mountains National ParkBeing in the real estate business, I often wonder what people would purchase if money was no object. Would it be a fifty room mansion in Vail or a Manhattan penthouse?

For me, the answer is simple. I would like a little piece of heaven with a flowing mountain stream brimming with trout and some great views of surrounding, tree covered mountains. I want a place to grow my own vegetables and I want to get up every morning and do chores.

I want to play an active role in controlling my environment, and I want to sleep the kind of sleep that comes from doing hard work and eating good wholesome food!

At this point in my life it's still a dream, but it's one that I hope to achieve one day! I am a driven individual, and I will make it happen some day. So it's off to work today to take another step towards achieving my goal! I can't wait to get there.

For me, I would like a relaxing home on the ocean where I could awaken every morning to the sound of crashing waves...that would be nice :)

Nice dream Richard.  Mine is to live on the ocean.  The house can be a shack - as long as my other half is there, and sand to walk on.

Ah, Richard, you just sent me into daydream mode.  And it's nice there!  I think my little piece of heaven will most likely involve a bamboo hut in the jungle, at least for awhile.  The only worry will be who's going to kill my chicken for dinner.  LOL

I'll be leaving the great state of California as it is cost prohibited to be a builder owner. Too many "nuts" and not enough Squirrels.

My dreams continually change but I believe a very small town would be the setting.

Richard...a great goal! My wife had the house and 60 acres when we got married, and I brought it up to date.  We spend a fair amount of time on my own 129 acres that we hunt, ski and just hike on.  You need a dream, and I do like  yours!

You know Richard I've never lived anywhere but Arizona. I'm not so sure that I want to live anywhere else. Natural disasters and huge bugs are just really not my style. And our firearm laws are much less strict.
