Lay of the land

We have found a piece of land that would work quite nicely and are now in the process of putting the financing together. One the bigger pieces of the puzzle came in to place today when we recieved a message from a local excavator. It confirmed that we can do what we wish to do with the property for a price that we can afford.

The property is a hill side and so the ground must be graded in areas for us to build upon. Our basic idea is to place a driveway entrance at the N.E. corner of the property. We will then have three 50' graded levels dug out that will be separated by two 25' wooded slopes. The top level will be the 30' yurt and a parking area. The middle level will have the work shop and guest yurts on it. And the third level will be for gardening, chickens, a wood shop, and possibly goats.

We are planning to do as much of the tree management our selves and to leave as many trees as possible.
