Overhead View

with 2 comments

I found the farm on Google maps. The trick was the greenhouse. While we were there, I had a feeling the greenhouse would prove to be the feature that would stand out and be identifiable. While trolling the area around Celorico on the Google maps view, it indeed was the greenhouse that caught my eye. Unfortunately, what doesn’t come through on this view is the change in elevation across the property. Essentially, the pool and greenhouse are above the main house, and the land to the left of those rises steeply to the high point of the property. The little isolated stable is below on the way down, leading the rest of the way down to the bottom field, where the horses so often run free to graze. The lower edge of the bottom field, which is the border of Ian and Victoria’s property, is the river we swam in at the bottom of the valley.

  1. Wow the farm mapped out! Hadn’t thought of doing this myself, but it worked out well and will come in handy to explain the property to all those curious! πŸ™‚

  2. The labeling helps to pin things down a little:-)
