On August 30th, it finally happened. We have purchased a property on the Sudbury River in Concord, MA. Included in the sale is an acre of wetlands that we are not allowed to touch, an existing house which is in disrepair and unhealthy to live in, a small patch of grass (which I now need to mow) and a small area of land between setbacks and no-build zones where we attempt to build a new house.
I plan on adding a page to this website with details of the process as we go through it. In the meantime, admire this view, which in a couple of years will be what we see every day.
