Maggie's Farm
Description
It's 10 till 7 and the sun is just starting to peak its head over the horizon. The early spring temperatures mean there is a dusting of frost covering the ground, glistening in the early morning light, but gone by noon. Dogwood trees are beginning to bloom along with the Easter Lillies, indicating the promise of warmer days ahead. The chickens waddle out of their coop and begin a busy days work, pecking and scratching at the ground. Watching from the window, steaming cup of coffee in hand, you take in the sights and sounds of the morning and the small quaint farmette around you. This is Maggie's Farm. Situated on the side of a sleepy country highway, Maggie's Farm lies on just over 5 and a half acres outside of Mountain View. Weathered barns and grazing cattle outnumber the neighbors, and homemade scratch cooking replaces fast food. Though the possibilities for this property far surpass the work needed, what was once a bustling hobby farm has since been forgotten and time worn buildings stand waiting to be brought back to life. A cute mobile home graces the property, boasting good bones and a blank slate for making it your own. A 30x40 shop creates ample space for storage as well as creativity, while an old potting shed and chicken coop sit idly, begging to be revived. Maggie's Farm is far from disrepair, though it has spent time vacant and seemingly forgotten, there are still memories to be made on this adorable farmette.
