Camus
Albert Camus once said, "Success is a constancy of purpose". I read this quote in 1973 and I reflect on it at least weekly.
We started our search for a home in the country two and a half years ago. Two years ago we discovered the home we now call Chateau Plumage. It hasn't been lived in for five years but at one time it was a beautiful estate with a main home and two guest houses with a small lake, a pool and a hammered copper fountain that stands 11 ft. tall and is 8' in diameter.
The only flaw is that the home has only one bedroom so the property is "functionally obsolete". It is impossible to appraise because it only appeals to a limited market. For us, it is perfect.
Tonight we signed copies of the accepted purchase offer. We close in early August and hopefully we'll be moving in by mid-September. Our special thanks to all of you who have listened to us for two years about our quest and supported us with your kindness and encouragement...and thanks Albert. - Craig
