Thanks, we're pretty happy with it, and hoping nothing keeps us from buying it. So far it's looking good. The inspection didn't turn up anything heinous. It's got issues (mostly minor), but for a 100 year old house, it's in pretty good shape. There's half a dozen native pecan trees on the property too. I love pecans. I brought a few back on Sat. Now I'm waiting for them to dry so I can try them. They are smaller than a regular pecan, and supposedly have a much harder shell to crack (apparently "improved pecans" are often called "papershell pecans". But the guy that told me that they are native pecans said that the meat is sweeter. (apparently, his grandfather had 4 different kinds of pecans on his property).

It's on almost 6 acres of land. There are 3 other homes nearby, but they are all just over 1/8 mile away and with natural barriers between this house and the others.

It'll mostly be a weekend place for us, and is just over an hour drive from where we're currently living.
