Why this property? Well, we think new is always nice. This home was finalized in Oct 2021 and was a site built new construction project. We really enjoyed being part of the process and watching the transformation daily. It's kind of a bitter sweet moment. My grandparents Donald and Clemontine Beddingfield established the old home place with about 16 acres back in the 1930's. They had 3 daughters and my dad, Gene. The house was a very rustic farm home and suited its times with an old out house (no plumbing until the late 1980's, a spring house in which they drew water to drink, cooked and cleaned with an old corn crib and smoke house. All still standing today. Several structures were not salvageable like the old chicken coop and wood shed but bring back such fond memories. As kids, we would tromp the land hunting squirrels, digging up crayfish in the spring creek, helping out with the farm animals (chickens, cows, horses, etc.). But the best memory of all is that our entire family would always meet on Sunday after church for a big home cooked meal. Clemontine was the best cook ever. A Sunday lunch would consist of fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, corn bread, desserts and all types of jellies all from the land they tended. We never missed a Sunday lunch as we knew family was all we had and how important that bond was and being together. Although some homemade ice cream helped out a little. You'll understand if you ever had to sit atop that churn. My grandparents farmed and I think my generation is the last to understand all the hard work that truly went into surviving back in those days. Clemontine canned about anything that could be canned out of the garden, she sewed and mended the kids' clothes and quilted blankets and heated the home with wood. I value that generations work ethic. I wanted to honor them by incorporating and preserving some of the history into our new home. You can read more about some that history below.

These might not be unique for you but are great reminders for me and my family. As you drive up the drive the old spring house (on the right) should catch your attention and still functions today. Closer to the new house as you park, you should identify the double seater out house (on the left), the smoke house with a repurposed door (white) from the old home straight ahead. Back to your left up on the hill by the grape vines, the corn crib. All these structures were important and used daily for my grandparents. Some items inside are from the old home place too. You will notice that each walk-in closet has an old chest of drawers. The 2 sliding barn doors (master bath and pantry) is the tin from the old roof. Did you notice the master bed's head board and post? How about the (3) old windows scattered throughout the home? The China cabinet in the kitchen and vanity upstairs have been repurposed. The old single bed frame in the upstairs bed room was used by my dad as a child (this has been replaced with a full bed frame and mattress). How about the wine glass holder? Don't forget to relax on the love seat on the back porch. That's the old oil drum used for heating. Last but not least, the rock retaining wall that offers the fire pit and steps that lead up to the grapes and corn crib was built by my dad and I (not masons for sure) but we wanted to utilize the rocks from the old foundation. We just finished up the 16 x 14 outdoor pavilion. We used old barn wood to slat the roof and we think it turned out pretty nice. Our plans for Spring of 2023 is a U Cut Flower Farm in the lower farm acreage by the creek. We just planted about 500 bulbs that will pop in the spring and ordered about 10 pounds of all season flowers to be put in the ground once spring rolls around. So keep checking back in as we continue to grow and make adjustments. Thanks for reading and we hope you find our home at "Clemontine's" as unique as we do.
