Oficially Listed For Sale...


I really haven't been ignoring my blog.  I have been very busy.  Mr. C and I have officially listed our home and property For Sale.  This is a very big step for us.  We have lived here almost twenty years.
When we bought this place it was a brand new mess.  Construction ground everywhere with no landscaping.  The house was only finished about 2/3 of the way due to the divorce of the couple having this custom home built.  It was builder beige and boring.  Along came Mr. C and I...


We were getting married, we are do-overs.  Mr. C was selling his computer company in Southern California, we were getting married out of country (that is an entire story of its own) and we were moving to Northern California all while our baby kitty was ill and in the hospital in an oxygen tent (thankfully she was saved and we shared our lives for 18 years together). We do have an exciting life.


We have poured our hearts and souls into this home and property...not to mention the enormous amount of money and work.  Mr. C has done most of the work along with contracted specialists.


It would take me days to tell all the tales we have shared in building this place we call home.  We love it here, however it is time to move on.  Mr. C wants to move out of California even though we are both natives.


This is where we like to sit and enjoy our beautiful home in the trees.  It is very peaceful here.  We have been extremely happy.  It has been a dream come true for us.  Now we are ready for our Sunset chapter of life.
Our weather was warm and beautiful for Autumn.  Then we got some very welcome rain.  Snow fell over Donner Pass and in the higher Tahoe ski mountains.  The temperatures have turned chilly and Winter is on its way.  More snow is predicted for the Thanksgiving weekend.
We will be celebrating with family and being mindful of all the things we are so very grateful for.  May you and your families and friends enjoy a truly wonderful Thanksgiving. 
Christmas is just around the corner.  Fa la la la la...

  8. Yes, your home is to die for and I can't believe that it won't sell quickly. Probably a good idea to get it on the market as interest rates are already heading up. any thoughts on where you might be settling after the sale? I bet Mr. C has researched what would be a good area.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  18. Goodness...your home is beautiful (just like you!!) and I can only imagine the trepidation that comes from this decision to leave. So many memories but you'll never lose those memories!! So the house will always be with you both.

  19. Oh dear Sherry, now the New Chapter begins. After all that back-breaking work, you probably have the house as you have always wanted...now you want/need to move.
    Your home lokks gorgeous, but all that gorgeousness comes at a cost.I can tell it would be a house that would require constant up-keep, and now you are at the stage when you might wonder if it is worth it.
    Your Craft Room looks fab. I would want to keep that table top if I was your new buyer!
    All the best with the sale.Hope it sells quickly.

  20. Good Morning Sherry,
    Such a gorgeous home and setting. We are do-overs too and what a blessing this new life has been.
    Good luck to you and your move and we would welcome
    you in Texas! (although, it is not nearly as
    scenic)
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Jemma

  22. Sherry good luck with the sale of your home. When I just got married,we found a similar setting and a nice home too in the woods on eleven acres. We too purchased the home from a couple who were divorcing. Our home was in WA and we had moved from CA to WA. It was our dream home at the time, but we only lived there a few years. Sending you good selling vibes. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hope you are in your new home in the new year.

  23. Many memories made, many new ones to come. This is indeed an amazingly beautiful property - all you can trust in is that together you will find something equally amazing. I hope it all goes well, and as you wish.
    Happy Thanksgiving dear Sherry, and all the best to you both!
