for sale!

We finally set the wheels in motion to put our property in South Carolina up for sale. We've been talking to a realtor and found out that we were not being as unreasonable in our expectations of the value of the property as we thought. She already emailed us the paperwork to send back. The subdivision our property is in is having an open house next weekend so we want to get everything in order so we can have the "for sale" sign up by then. It turns out that there was already some interest in it when the realtor mentioned to a prospective buyer that we were considering selling it. Since our property sits almost right at the point, it's considered prime!

It's a gated community right on Lake Russell which lies on the border of Georgia and South Carolina. It's actually part of the Savanna River which was damned to form this lake. We inherited it when Bill's mom passed away and had thought of keeping it and eventually build on it, but it wasn't what we really wanted. It is a wildlife preserve and the Army Corp of Engineer owns the lakefront. Our property sits right next to it.


This is a view of the lake from our property. You can't see any houses because they have to be at least 200 ft in from the shoreline.

Our plan is to sell the property in South Carolina and use the money to purchase a condo in California with Steven as a partner. We want to use it as an investment right now and rent it out. We've been in contact with a realtor in California and she's already emailed a few listings in our price range and we're hoping to set up some places to look at while we're out there.

Seriously, I can't believe this is really happening. We had talked about doing this for so long but I never thought it could be possible.
