Well two years ago Jonathan and I decided to start searching for special piece of land to build our dream home on! We have a family farm that I ADORE but I wanted something to start with for the years we have a young family. God brought us to a wonderful tract of land that was right at 98 acres..totally wooded and gorgeous in the back of a beautiful neighborhood in Cleveland called Ridgewood! We jumped on the chance to purchase it and started making plans to build. Well, my husband has been the President of his Grandfathers Paving Company (Caldwell Paving for 13 years now) Our company has been blessed and highly favored! For years J has wanted to try his hand at developing a neighborhood...well...we decided this is where we would start! Its a really long story about how it all came about but we have joined in a partnership with my mom and dad and launched a little developing company....The name of our development is Alders Glen..we have broken the land into 16 lots that range from 1 acre to 10 acres they are estate lots with trees and small lakes and woods all aound you...totally breathtaking! 40 acres are in a natural perserve with walking trails and picnic areas and even a meadow that will have great soft grass for neighborhood easter egg hunts!! Its been a delightful project and we feel excited and blessed to be apart of something really unique! We started our house which our dear friend Greg Calfee is building for us....he is amazing and fast...we started in August and today they are laying hardwood floors and trimming the house!! So once the house is almost done and a few more odds and ends are tied up we will be ready to launch Alders Glen to the public!!!! The picture above is of the side view of our new home!
