Ok......... I've been waiting to share pictures of our new home here in Tennessee until all inspections were passed,

testing done, etc. and we're in the home stretch (about 3 weeks to closing) and I just can't wait anymore to share!

This beautiful piece of heaven we now get to call home is about 25 minutes from Nashville in Fairview, TN. It's a

fully remodeled 'mini-farm' on 5 acres, fully fenced. Going to convert the quaint red barn for the dogs. You can't

see it in the picture but there's a dog weathervane already on the barn - how apropos! There's a stocked pond

with ducks and a vegetable garden with watering system already. Just too many wonderful things about this

amazing property to list. I loved it the moment we arrived - cannot wait to have friends & family visit! Plenty of

room to raise dogs & kids! So excited! :)
