Being a "rural lifestyle realtor" poses some challenges and even danger at points. Don't get me wrong...I love the rural lifestyle and the joys and challenges that come with it. But, when my husband showed me the pea-size agarita berry and told me how "easy" it was to beat the bushes to harvest...

Woolly worms are notorious for predicting hard winters around the world. In fact, in North Carolina they have festivals in their honor. When I nearly squished one crossing the road on my way to preview property yesterday my mind began to race with wonderment of what he could possibly be predict...

You would think that in a tough economy every listing would be important...but after a day of land previewing I found out that land listings tend to be the "red-headed-step-child" of listings. One of the first parcels I looked at...(or I thought I looked at)...didn't have a sign...was overgrown ...

We just moved to the most beautiful place in the country just outside Boerne, TX...complete with 10 laying hens. I was having my morning "quiet time" on my back porch...listening to the chickens mumuring and clucking in the yard around me. I have had chickens before and spent quite a bit of tim...

It's been nearly two months since I have been on Active Rain... Did you miss me? Cuz, I missed you. Gosh...pull up a chair and grab a cup of coffee and let me tell you what's happened. First...I made a huge step backwards...yes backwards...but in a very forward kinda way. I left Southland Lo...

All you Texans Active Rainers... This is a repeat of an earlier blog and will continue to be until the day of the event. Just want to make sure you all know you are invited! Back in the 17th and 18th century there was a practice called "barn raising" where a community would come together to bui...

One of the great things about living the rural lifestyle are the many locally owned restaurants where neighbors convene. One of those places is Tink A Tako in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX...just a smidge down the road from Bergheim, TX. Odd name...no doubt...but the Arias family has been serving up "aut...

Back in the 17th and 18th century there was a practice called "barn raising" where a community would come together to build a barn for another neighbor. Those days are nearly gone except in some Amish communities...but Southland Log Homes has decided to resurrect it (somewhat) and offer the com...

I have spent much of the afternoon looking through listings on the MLS for my clients and have been shocked and (may I say ever so bluntly) HORRIFIED at how many pictures I saw of bathrooms with the lid up on the toilet. Okay...for many men, this is probably "no big deal"...but I actually saw on...

If you sit at work dreaming and thinking there's gotta me more than concrete sidewalks and this face paced life...then maybe it's time you find yourself again and start living the simplicity of the "rural lifestyle". It doesn't mean you have to give up your job...just give up living 10 feet away from your neighbor or starting your own garden or have that horse you've always dreamed of.
I have been a licensed Realtor for nearly 18 years with experience in new home construction, (both production and custom), log homes, and helping folks live the rural lifestyle. It would be my extreme pleasure to help you realize your dream.
