This is what you would call a "diamond in the rough", but this is what we were looking for. And we finally found it after a long search.
A place in the country within an hour drive from Macon, with a creek or a pond, between 5 and 30 acres, with matures trees, and a feel of being in or close to nature.
This property has a half collapsed house that was a real eyesore. People have dumped tires and other debris on the land. It has no utilities, no ingress or egress. A little jungle so to speak. We saw the challenge and decided to turn this place into a little gem, a sanctuary.
We were sold on the creek. The briars did not bother us, the tires did not bother us, the invasive trees did not bother us (Chinese privets, tallow trees, Smilax,...). Here we come!
The creek is called Auchumpkee Creek. Debbie suggested we call the place "Auchumpkee Sanctuary". I agreed.
We started off with machetes and quickly upgraded from there.
