It all started about ten years ago when the owners were married. Broke and in debt, they got a steal on a cabin rental in Murphy from a friend. As the were out to breakfast one morning, he was looking through the real estate magazines and she asked what he was doing. His response was that one day they would own a house in the mountains….. she giggled…. And 10 years later here they are!
There is also a story behind the name of our home in the mountains. The two own a little ranch in Florida where they raised, and their five kids showed, show cattle. One evening at dusk she went for a walk down the dirt road they live on and heard a bear in the woods. She called him and asked, “What do I do?”, to which he promptly replied, “Get home!” He went the next morning to look for tracks, and there they were in the dirt on the side of the road! There was a black bear for a short time wandering around our town and she had finally made it out to the country they live, yes, we do have black bears in south Florida! Thus, Bearfoot Ranch was born!
Fast forward a few years and here they are, sharing their home with you! This home was a dream, long in the waiting, but soon enough became real. The home was completed in October of 2019, and they were ecstatic to see it finished. When they saw the finished product, it was all they had imagined. He is a builder and is always designing everything; she all but demanded to design this one, and he gladly obliged. I hope you are as pleased with it as they are.
