During our time in NY Lynn has spent many hours scouring home listings and put 6 on the “got to see” list.  One went off the market while we were away.  With a bit more research, we determine another is actually near the county landfill and located on flat ground on a lovely treed lot but surrounded by hayfields.  It comes off the list as well.  Our wonderful realtor set our visits and we preview 2 log homes near Mountain City.  One is really big with 4 bedrooms and a two-car garage but it took 4-wheel drive to get up the gravel driveway.  Ugh!  The 2^nd is pretty nice except the kitchen is small and feels isolated (not the great room layout we are going for), there was very little level ground to park, and no room to add a shop.  It stays on the possible list but we have two more to review.
