New House
I finally have joined the ranks of property owners. While
back in Texas for Christmas, my aunt and uncle told me about a house for sale in
their neighborhood outside of Austin. I drove down to take a look, and
liked it! I put in an offer, which after a bit of negotiating, was accepted.
I received the final contracts in London, which I took to the embassy to get
notarized, and the place closed on Feb. 4th, 2004. I made a trip back in
March to get the keys and such, and see what needed to be done before I move in.
As you can see from the pics, I will have a lot of space to work with!
An incredible part of the development is called The
Ranchers Club. There is a 7000 square foot clubhouse, with gourmet
kitchens, a gym, pool tables, TVs, etc. Also available is a three
level swimming pool with waterfalls, camping areas, BBQs, driving range,
volleyball, tennis, horseshoes, washers, and playhouses for kids.
