    Offer accepted!

    After a lot of negotiation with a paranoid seller, we finally came to an agreement and signed off on our offer today. Which was our original offer - we walked when they were being unreasonable, they came back in 2 days and asked if our original offer still stood.

    So, if all goes well with inspections, appraisal, etc, as of June 1 will be residents of Bend, Oregon. We will have 10 full acres bordering BLM land (with trails out of the property's gate). The 10 acres includes a beautiful farmhouse, gorgeous landscaping and trees, barn, chicken coop, shop, and pasture. Thor will have so much room to run and explore!

    Coming from our 6000 sq ft lot (with a 1300 sq ft house), I'm a bit nervous about caring for such a property, but on the other hand I can't wait to finally move in to the place we can see ourselves living for the rest of our lives.

    Oh, and once we settle in I'll be asking here for references to good lab breeders in the area. We love where we got Thor, but they'll be a bit far for us now. We'll have so much room for ALL THE DOGS.

    Is the acreage wooded or fields or both?

    A little of both, but mostly fields. The main home is landscaped and wooded, and about 3 of the 10 acres. Pines and old junipers. The rest are what I would call 'animal management' or the 'farm' - barns, coop, paddocks, garden, and a large 5 acre fenced irrigated pasture. The entire property is fenced overall in addition to the pasture fencing. There is a gate that opens from behind the barn to open BLM land - lots of trails among high desert terrain (sandy, junipers). I'm excited to be able to step out for a quick trail run somewhere where thor won't have to be on leash.
