The Pursuit

Soon after we found the lake we learned property on it rarely comes up for sale. We weren't interested in buying a house; we wanted to build something that could serve as our principle residence for decades.

So we wrote a letter to every property owner on the lake asking to keep us in mind if they decided to sell.

And then we waited.

Two years later some land became available, a little over three acres on the west side of the lake.

In a month, it was ours.
