First Swim in the 3/4 Acre Pond & Happy 2024

A pretty special moment to have the first swim in our farm pond after a really big downpour. And even though we noticed the level of the water dropping, which means that we'll probably need to do more work to the dam so that it holds water better - this was still a really nice core memory for us to see some of the hard work starting to pay off. Because even though essentially everything is still a work in progress, having a 100 metre swimming pool right in our backyard that we created is still really epic.

That's been the key with our journey so far. Even when things don't go to plan, we keep focusing on the possibilities, find solutions to challenges, and always keep our dreams alive until eventually they make their way into the real world. That's how it works when creating a beautiful off grid oasis - it definitely does not happen overnight. A beautiful property with majestic ponds, luscious lawns and nourishing orchards is something that takes years of hard work, care and persistence to create.
