Blue Gum Acres has been around for a very long time, but thankfully it is totally different to the way it was one hundred years ago. Blue Gum Acres started out as a farm on hundreds of acres with cattle and sheep and of course, horses. Over the years, parts of the land were sold and it changed from a farm to an orchard to a vineyard but neither of these were very successful so they werent around for very long. It was then owned by a family who had a sort of mini farm with all the animals you could imagine. Of course, everyone gets old eventually and thats what the owners of this place did. Their children werent the nature or outdoorsy types, they were more the city types so they sold the land to the first buyer. Unfortunately that happened to be a company who wanted to build an estate on the land. Because they didnt have enough money at the time, they put off the building and just let the land sit there for a couple of years. Then, just before I came along, the company went bankrupt (thank goodness for me) and had to sell off all land they were not using ASAP. Thankfully, I had passed this land regularly for a long time and as soon as I saw the For Sale sign up I just knew I had to buy BGA, and I did. Now the farm consists of only about 100 acres but it is still on a lot of land and it is still very open and natural. After a couple of years of designing, landscaping and building we made what is now Blue Gum Acres!!!
