    The Perfect 20 Acres Just South of Heaven

    The Perfect 20 Acres actually does exist, and it is south of Sequim in the mountains. I did not know Heaven had an address, but it does, and everything a dreamer could want is found on this property: a parklike setting with old growth tree stumps that literally could be 600 to 1,200 years old, healthy trees of various kinds all over the 20 acres, trails for hiking or riding a horse, four ponds, one that is 35 feet deep, a cabin on a pond with water that is naturally fresh with a creek that runs in and out of the pond, lots of wildlife of all kinds, privacy of course, and it's so quiet you can't hear anything except the wind and birds. The mountain view is stunning, and you need to watch this video to see how good the view is. It's rare that you find a large parcel of land like this anywhere in the country, but here it is right in the Sequim area on the Olympic Peninsula. Wow! I cannot wait to see the retirement home my clients build on this property!

Even when you get an official well inspection report, you have to know how to read it, and that report does not tell you the history of the well or address other potential traps for the unwary. This video tells the real story of a California dreamer who purchased a home in Sequim for his blonde bombshell wife, and the inspection deception that almost caught him.
