🌳 There’s something about having a little room to breathe.

Maybe it’s a few acres, a big garden, space for the horses, a workshop you can actually work in, or simply enough distance between you and the neighbors to enjoy a quiet evening outside. 🐴🌾

Country living can be pretty appealing, but buying property with acreage comes with a different set of questions than buying a home in town.

💧 Where does the water come from?
🛣️ Who maintains the road?
📍 Are there easements or restrictions?
🌳 What comes with the land?
🏠 What should you know about improvements, outbuildings and utilities?

The pretty view may get your attention, but understanding the property is what matters before you call it home.

Better Homes & Gardens has some great inspiration and information for anyone who loves homes, gardens and a little more space. 🌿

🏡 A little maintenance now can save a lot of headaches later.

We may still have plenty of warm Texas days ahead, but fall is a great time to walk around your home and take care of a few things before cooler weather arrives.

Better Homes & Gardens put together a helpful summer-to-fall checklist that includes things like:

🍂 Checking the roof and exterior for damage
🍂 Cleaning gutters and checking downspouts
🍂 Trimming limbs near the roof
🍂 Scheduling HVAC maintenance
🍂 Replacing air filters
🍂 Checking around the home for places pests can sneak in

Nothing glamorous, but these are the little things that help keep a home in good shape. 🏡

And if your fall plans include more than home maintenance and you’re thinking about more land, a little more room, or maybe finally making that move to the country, I’m always happy to help. 🌳🐴

📖 Better Homes & Gardens: Summer-to-Fall Home Checklist

As the days get cooler, these are all the things you should clean, winterize, or cozy up as part of an annual summer-to-fall transition.
