Bringing Her Home: A Historic House Finds New Ground
Some stories begin with a blueprint — ours starts with a house already full of history. She’s 100 years old, headed for demolition… until we stepped in. Now, we’re moving her—quirks, charm, and all—to our land on Nectar Road. It’s a little wild, a little risky, and deeply meaningful. This is the beginning of her second life… and we’re bringing you along for the ride.
A Deeper Kind of Green
Sustainability isn’t just cloth napkins—it can be saving an entire home. In this post, we explore how moving a 100-year-old house is the ultimate act of reuse, preserving history, craftsmanship, and the soul of a place. A deeper kind of green means building a future that honors the past.
The Day We Started Taking Her Apart
Before we can move our 100-year-old house, we have to take her apart—carefully removing trim, baseboards, and history. It’s emotional work, but also full of quiet discoveries: signatures behind trimwork, a 1928 penny, a hairpin. This is the story of trusting the process—and preserving every piece for the day she stands whole again.
Clearing The Way
There’s a sight I won’t forget: the first fallen trees in the woods.
That moment marked more than the start of construction—it marked a quiet grief and a powerful beginning. As we cleared the land to make space for our future home, I felt the weight of every tree we said goodbye to. But with each loss came a promise: to honor what was, and to make space for something just as magical to grow in its place.
This isn’t just land prep. It’s sacred ground-breaking. A home is coming—and with it, the slow, beautiful return of life, light, and enchantment.
