Thanks for this information, Marjory.  I passed it along to Blue Heron Farms. 
 They produce goat cheeses off of 1488 in northern Waller County (Texas).  I 
will be in Brenham tomorrow for Farmer Brad's Market day at his Home Sweet 
Farm.  I will mention your market to him, although I'm sure he already knows 
about it.  Unfortunately, Bastrop is a bit too far for me, or I would be one 
of your regular customers at least until I become more proficient at growing 
my own food.

Mimi in Sunnyside (10 miles NW of Brookshire, TX)
I'm picking yummy dewberries today!

More details:

House has original wood floors.
Original maple kitchen looks beautiful & has lots of storage space.
Lots of light & super low-traffic area near end of dead-end street.
Most neighbors are homeowners.

House is pretty much in original condition with no major renovations done in
the past 40 years.  Aluminum siding.  Both house and garage have new roofs.
Most of the house windows have storm windows.

House has an oil furnace which works fine.  Heat distribution from a wood 
stove
would work well in the centrally located living room or study if you wanted to
install one.

Bordered on 2 sides by 20+ acre open field owned by Portland Parks & Rec.
They're currently creating a Master Plan for turning the land into a city park
in the next few years.  Until then it makes great wildlife habitat, with
canadian geese stopping during migration, and year-round red tailed hawks,
rabbits, & coyotes.

Again, if you have questions or would like to schedule a viewing, please
email or call 503-288-5331 and talk to Theressa or Norris.  Thanks for
looking!
