Our lot is number
017. It is 150 feet wide by almost 900 feet deep--
about 3 acres in total. The lot is on the north side of Center
Road
which is an east/west route. The front part of the lot, the white
area before
the first line (as you can see by the picture on the Home page), is an open area.
This part of the lot is about 300 feet deep. At the first line is
where
the lot begins to slope downhill quite rapidly but goes down only about
20 feet. The woods begin here and go back to the end of our lot.
About 600 feet back from the street is a small creek--about 3 feet wide
in the summer and up to 10 feet wide temporarily during heavy rains or
melting snow. We are going to build a small bridge over the creek
for our
our walking trail. The walking path will be about 1/2 mile
long and
and wind throughout the entire
lot. At some point we hope to fence the
entire 3 acres so our dogs can run with us when we walk. Our house
is
about 150 feet from
the street, somewhat in the center of the front open/white area.
Here are some pictures of various sections of our lot
This is at the beginning of our path, where the trees start and it starts to go downhill.
This is a hollow near the front part of the woods.
