Would you believe that although we've been there many times in October and November, we've *never* seen the leaves turning? That usually happens in September.
We've never seen winter, either. Everyone tells us that it may be an eye-opener with regard to our decision to live there. LOL. I figure if we can get from the barn to the house and back again during winter, we should be just fine. Everything we need to wait out the winter (food, firewood, lamps, fuel) will be in one of those two places.
You can't see it from the video, but there is a very small town... about ten buildings... near one side of the property. Just a five minute walk unless the snow is waist deep. The town has a general store, a post office, and one of those white churches (with steeple) that you just mentioned. If we ever got desperate, we could buy supplies there.
There are places in the field where the church steeple is very noticeable. We'll likely erect a gazebo and a picnic table there since it might be the prettiest view.
It's great from everywhere, though. I'm not sure what you could see from the house since it's not built yet and the exact spot hasn't even been chosen, but it will be a bit higher than the ground and will no doubt have nice scenery in every direction. The barn will look like a single story building (though it's a two story) that's about a hundred feet downhill, so it isn't going to obstruct what can be seen in the least. If it's a good looking building, it might even make the view better.
