Mike & Gwens Story....

Mike & Gwen bought this 18 acres so they could raise horses. It was covered in oak trees and yopoun holly bushes so over the years , with the help of a Bobcat machine , they have cleared about 1/2 of the trees and transformed them into pastures. They are in the process of clearing the rest of their land so the horses have enough pasture to rotate and give the grass a chance to grow.
They bought a church and had it moved to the property and lived in this converted church for 8 years as is. Over the years they added a bedroom/bath, small kitchen to the sides of the house. This last year they made a major renovation and added on about 1000 square , which included a living room, a much larger kitchen and laundry room. It is a work in progress, not finished yet but they are at least living in the areas as is.


They really have a nice set-up; chickens, ducks,turkeys (they had one of them for Thanksgiving that weighed 52 lbs) an above ground pool, the horse barn and a soon to be very large nice house!
