Hi janeAnne, yes I see and we have a lot of homes on top of mountains here. But this home on top of this slope is definitely in a precarious posture.
JaneAnne.. This is one of the best "local" posts I have seen in a long time. Very creative... good job.
JaneAnne, I'm with Valerie. I love the foremat of this post! It also looks like a good place to get a deal on some land for a future home.

Perching on a cliff may not be the most attractive choice to many home buyers and builders...
Valerie~
The development inspires a creative touch...
Marchel~
It's hard to describe the feeling of this land...the word "remote" comes to mind...
If a picture is worth a thousand words yours are worth a million.
