A TED WIGHT BLOG
I was in Clarksville this week and drove by the old Grace Church that was sold last year to a St. Louis couple. They are turning it into a studio/loft. I need to pop by to say hello, I hear they are nice.
Frederick Dunn designed this beauty…what a treat to have it in Clarksville!

I am excited that one of my listings up in Louisiana, MO in Pike County got picked up by a popular, national blog- Lovelylistings. This blog features unique properties throughout the world. Often they are just poorly decorated properties…though mine was chosen since it is so different. It is an old city water processing plant located right on the Mississippi.
2011 was a good year….in fact, my best year ever!
Here is a brief recap of some of my achievements and milestones:
I can't wait for 2012!
Here are some of my goals for this year:
Here is another wonderful family photo that was recently rediscovered. It is my grandfather, aunt and late uncle having a picnic in the woods at our farm in Pike County. I love that my grandfather is in a jacket and tie. Do you remember the days of the thermos?
Evensong is planned for Jan 8 at 3 p.m. at St John's near Eolia. Wrap up and layer…..it may be cold inside the church.

I am proud to announce that Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty represented the Seller of this lovely farm that is now sold. The new owner is from St. Louis and owns a large catering business.
"One of a kind lovingly built and restored country property. Located on designated scenic Highway W just an 80 minute drive from Chesterfield and 7 miles from historic Clarksville situated amongst old working family farms on asphalt state road. Eye catching New England style home features massive old timbers salvaged from Missouri barns as structural supports. Built by Amish craftsmen and designed for high efficiency. Included on acreage is a new all wood horse barn, 60'x 48' with 5 stalls and 12'x 24' tackroom with rough-in full bath. Restored 1914 60'x40' dairy barn is the crowning touch. Perfect weekend retreat with lots of space and serenity. Bring the kids and animals to this country refuge. 16 acres" Listed originally for $599,900.
I have not driven West on Highway 54 from Louisiana in a while….the other day I stumbled across the Stark Brothers Nursery. What a wonderful building. I Iknow I will be there this Spring to buy some fruit trees. I have a lonely apple tree on our farm that needs a mate…..so that it will actually produce apples! The picture is a bit tilted….I was cold and took the photo from my car.
One of the most exciting properties that I have seen recently is a home perched above Louisiana, MO with million dollar views of the Mississippi. It really is breath-taking. I want this view!
Next door is this neglected cottage.
