Some of those memories live on right here at Balsam Ridge (minus the horses).
I often imagine the sound of horses and sleigh bells and people singing carols and then warming up around a toasty fire sipping hot cocoa. The farm has since retired it's horses and closed it's doors to make room for new homes, but memories live on in the beauty of the open fields. Twenty years later we still marvel at the beauty around us and can hardly believe that we LIVE here! Just down the road is a trout stream and just beyond that was a popular farm that attracted many folks to this neighborhood for hay rides and sleigh rides. We loved the location and rolled up our sleeves.
It was once an abandoned house that sat for years, until a friend mentioned to us that it might be going up for sale. We are so blessed to live in this little piece of serenity just inside the city limits of Duluth. Many folks that have visited our place refer to it as 'country living in the city'.
