We had to close the contest and return the entry fees due to a state ruling. The contest never finished, yet we contacted the woman with the most votes and declared her the unofficial official winner and asked if she'd like us to donate $50 in her name to one of the proposed charities and she picked one. We talked for a bit and then asked if she wanted to rent or rent to own the property. The family met us for coffee, we took them on a tour and they loved it. Really, no one who chooses to live in the PNW could help but love it. It's gorgeous. We had them over for tea on Sunday and to hear him speak of rounding the bend in the road and see his house serenely set in the woods waiting for him like heaven's doors thrown open to receive him was pure poetry. I'm so glad someone who really loves the place lives there.
