I'm sure a lot of people would. It was built in the early 1900's and is completely restored.

Thanks. I should try to take more pictures of this area. It is quite beautiful.

I work in a relatively populous area, and I would never dream of moving there or living there. It's just too densely populated and there is a lot of crime.

I completely agree.

Yes, it is surrounded by dense forest. Yet, the only things to be afraid of here are bear, mountain lion, coyotes, and perhaps wolves. The funny thing is that they run before you see them most of the time.

Yes, it was breathtaking to view up close. A real classic piece of architecture.

This is picturesque. And those trees behind the house -- ideal. People

can have the suburbs and the urban jungle, but I'll take a forest full of trees of (sub)urban blight any day.  I live in the suburbs of Atlanta now, and, although it has its conveniences, it ain't the tree-topped hills of home...

heheh-- Tanga, I am more apprehensive about what lurks in urban jungles!

I'd take the woods any day!  Or night!

Beautiful house and it looks kind of a partial dream house I have in mind..

but the woods (if I am correct) in the background looks a bit eerie and I would be scared with what is lurking there at night...

I would've loved for you to tour it with us. It just reeked of history. There were pictures of their ancestors on the walls. You could feel them there.

Lovely place!

Reminds me a bit of Cade's Cove in the Great Smokies.

Elegant indeed

Thanks also for your comment on my blog. As you say, tight-knit families are the hardest to unravel.

Indeed, it does. Thanks for taking a peek.

We were in awe of it since the first time we espied it. The lady who showed us the inside was very gracious and told many stories. I only wish now that I had written them down.

Fascinating house and grounds.  It must have quite a history to it.

I love the geometry in the design.
