In April of 2006, Bradley and Jesse inspected the farm house and lakefront. While walking with Karel Jacobs, we discussed that we were not interested in buying the house and 10 acres if we could not have the entire parcel. Karel suggested that we buy the farmhouse first. Within 5 years we could buy the remaining land less his new house and some acreage. And finally upon his demise we could purchase his house as well.
In 2006, we purchased the core of lakeshore farm, the farmhouse, the lake frontage and the orchard along with 25 acres. In the spring of 2008, Karel asked if we could help raise some funds for a trip across country for his ailing wife, Virginia. We agreed to purchase 30 acres thus bringing our total to 55 acres.
In December of 2010, after surveying the remaining parcel and holding out 15 acres around Karel's house, we purchased 147+ acres to bring us to 202+ acres. We have firmed up all of the agreements on the remaining 15 acres and are glad to see Karel enjoying his golden years up the hill.
