And so it begins...


After years of dreaming about getting back to my rural roots, we have finally found the "right" place. It's a little slice of Paradise located in Ola, Idaho, about 60 miles north of Boise, and about 75 years away from what our politicians keep ramming down our throats as "progress". If "progress" is defined as more traffic, more pollution, more crime, higher taxes, and endless subdivisions and shopping centers where beautiful and fertile farmland once stood, I guess they're right.
That's not for me. My wonderful wife and I are embarking on a new adventure - taking 276 acres of beautiful rolling ranchland and making it our retirement getaway.
Let the fun begin!

Another question answered. What are you doing with 276 acres, other than it makes a superb buffer? Horses, cattle, etc.?

Nancy - Along with ensuring our privacy, we lease the land to cattle ranchers for grazing.
