More details on the Route 54 property

Today we drove back to Bloomfield to gather information about the property and look for temporary rental options. We visited a nice apartment building that had a vacancy that is available on a month-to-month basis.

We drove "around the block" at the property, a distance of about 4 miles. Then we stopped at a property across the county road but no one was home. We walked the property again, and decided to drive by the neighbor's one more time.

This time there was someone there and we stopped to talk. It was the son of the late owner who was working in the garden. He explained that the property had belonged to his grandparents. His brother had sold it to the current owner. He seemed to be happy with the idea of its being purchased by someone who would not abuse it.

He suggested we talk to his brother who owns the property immediately south of the "target" property. We drove down the county road and knocked on the neighbor's door. We had a wonderful talk with the owner and his wife, for over two hours! He took me for a ride around his property and suggested that he might be interested in selling a piece of it adjacent to the property we are considering.

This gives us a second option in the neighborhood. On our next trip we'll look up the taxes and other details at the court house.
