You never know what you’re going to find on a forty acre farm. As part of moving in and gathering information to design our horse farm, we had a boundary survey done. The surveyors ventured around the edges of the property to mark corners and delineate the property lines. So, for fun, my husband and I decided to hike through the woods and follow their flags around the property. We didn’t even make it half-way around the property! This heat is crazy! Why did we ever buy a farm in the middle of a Georgia summer?!?
While following the flags, we made an exciting discovery — a building! Hidden amongst the overgrowth and brush, there’s what looks to be an old animal shelter. We weren’t able to really get a good look at it, but we plan on eventually clearing out around it… so there will be more pictures to follow.
This got our curiosity stoked. So, we started exploring other little islands over overgrowth around the pasture. We found TWO more buildings! You would never even know they were there if we hadn’t been searching for them. Some day I would love to learn more about the property and the Ledford family who owned it before us. I feel like the land could tell us a few stories…
