Triple C's Place

[Triple C]

Very excited for you, talk about a dream come true — retirement living close to the kiddos!

Couldn’t agree more!

Awesome. Love the pics, thanks for sharing! We went a different route and are going to retire at the farm. Crazy thing is, if I’d had a crystal ball, I’d have built a bigger place, and with a secluded office where I can work I disturbed. This working remotely thing has highlighted the need for quiet/closed doors where the puppy and family will let me be....

Awesome ! Hope you have a beaver pond or I ain't followin!

 

[Native Hunter]

This is just awesome. So happy for you.

Thx Elk! If I had a do over at the farm I’d have done a lil more on everything. Lil more cabin...lil bigger tractor...lil bigger shop. On house build we prolly going more than we need but wanna make sure we have plenty of room when kids n grandkids show up.

Ha! Love the beavers at the farm. They ain’t welcome at the new place.

Thx Native. I have about 15 acres of what could become prairie on the new place. Thx for your current thread. Really enjoying following along.

Very nice TC, congratulations.
I wish that my old cabin was as nicely furnished.

Change Is In The Air...
After a decade of hosting just about all of our family gatherings at the farm, change is in the air. The Triple C will soon become a more traditional hunting camp. My wife and I are building our retirement home on a 56 acre tract of land I bought a year n half ago that's located a mile from Brooks and his family and a mile in the other direction from Ashli and her family. We hope to be in by mid October this year. And once there, family gatherings will transition from the farm to our new place. Hope to make a whole new set of memories at the new place. It's a beautiful tract of land with an early 1800's log cabin that we plan to restore along with a one acre pond full of bass n bream where I've been honing my skills with my new hobby of fly fishing.

Here's a rendition of what our new home will look like once finished.

Here's the log cabin that will be moved and restored. Thing sits right on the road which 100 years ago made sense.

Place is loaded with deer. And due to less hunting pressure, better age structure of bucks. As far as the Triple C, things have never been better. For the first time since 2012, the pear trees are loaded to the point that most have broken limbs due to the weight of the fruit. Clover is doing great. Deer roaming around happy and fed. And come this fall...it'll turn in to a guys hunting camp. Hopefully I'll do a better job of updating as the year progresses. Here's a pic of one of the Kieffer pears that's loaded with fruit.

Beautiful house! You added an extra reverse gable on the left that's not on the rendition?

 

[Triple C]

Great to here from you George. Looks like you are doing a pretty good job of living the dream in the land of the giants! Think of you every time I place my keys on the shelf at the cabin right next to the knife you made for me. Lot of water under the bridge since then.

Pretty much according to plan with 3 car garage. Here’s a better pic that shows the gable over garage. With 3 car garage it makes for a really nice bonus room upstairs. Kind of like it’s own apartment up there.

Thx lak! You know home grown maters are in our future.

Great. I want to provide you your first Cherokee Purple tomato plants!!

 

[gut_pile]

Thx Native. I have about 15 acres of what could become a dove field to invite gut_pile to.

Fixed it

 

[Triple C]

Fixed it

Luv the way your thinking!

Triple C,
It sure has been a while! I hope you and your family are doing well. My wife & I are not Raleigh,NC. I became the Executive Director at the NC Forestry Association and life is just now starting to settle back to normal. I’m glad to see you and your wife have moved closer to your farm.

Great to hear from you John! Seems like yesterday you where a student at Clemson. Any children yet? Maybe you can give advice to Weekender now that they've moved back to the states. I know he's excited to improve his property in NC. Let's catch up soon.
