We are moving to 20 acres in Arizona. So we need to sell our little 
suburban homestead in Utah.

If anyone needs to live close to big city to work, but wants the small 
town feel and to be able to keep animals, they may want to check out our 
place.

It is in Santaquin Utah. 20 minutes from the Orem/Provo area. 45 minutes 
from Salt Lake Valley. 1 hour from Salt Lake City. I work in Draper, up 
by Salt Lake City and it only takes me 45 minutes to drive to work (we 
live only a few blocks from the freeway entrance.)

We have a fenced garden area inside the privacy fenced back yard, 30+ 
chickens that free range in the fenced back yard, two goats - we milk 
one, and some rabbits. Others in neighborhood keep horses, chickens, 
etc. One side is bordered by an orchard - two other sides by roads (it 
is a corner lot).  It is in a culdesac so there is very little traffic.

We gave enjoyed living here, and love the house - if we could move it 
onto more land we would. It is older - built around 1915 with an addon 
in the 40's or 50's. The older part is lathe and plaster. Beautiful 
arches and hardwood floors. It is configured with 4 bedrooms but could 
be setup for more (or less). One room in the basement was setup as a 
darkroom with running water - we use it for food storage.

Here are some additional pictures.

I just found a bunch of pictures from when we first bought the house in 
Feb 2003
http://homeiswheretheheartis.us/santaquin/  - we have done a little 
fixing up since then, but not near as much as we had planned on.
