Farmhouse on Swearingen
we bought the farmhouse of our dreams!
of all the farmhouses in the world.
Growing up as a little girl, I passed this farmhouse every day. I can't tell you why I've always been naturally drawn to this house. As the new owner of this beautiful farmhouse, I can't help but feel like it was fate all along.
Bittersweet. That's the perfect word to describe this journey. Although it's sweet for me, the story of how we became the lucky owners of this beautiful farmhouse is a story for another day. While they are sad to see it leave their family, they're thankful to know we love it equally as much and will make a lifetime of memories in the years to come.
I'm happy you're here to follow along as we bring Farmhouse on Swearingen back to life.
"just" a cedar tree
I get it. I thought that too.
Fun fact about me...
I'm as sentimental as one can be. Learning the history of this beautiful property and hearing all of the memories made over the many years has been my favorite of this journey so far.
Why this isn't "just" a cedar tree...
On closing day, the sweet husband to the lady who's family owned this property- where she grew up as a little girl, told me something I'll never forget. He said "I'm not sure what you plan to do with those cedar trees in the front yard. You may cut them down and that's okay. There used to be 3 of them. My wife and I planted those 3 cedar trees when we got married and only 2 of the 3 lived. We are celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary this May (2022)"
I will forever remember that story whenever I look at these beautiful trees.
Sharing this experience with you is a gift already.
