small valley.”
“What style is the house? Are there any outbuildings?”
“Yes, there is a barn and horse stables as well as a three stall equipment shed. The house is kind of Mediterranean style but I have to warn you it needs some serious work. The land is also underdeveloped and has a lot of overgrowth. You will definitely have your work cut out for you but I think it could be a contender. Do you want to take a look?”
“Another undertaking. I will have to think about it, I had kind of hoped for something with more bones.”
“Sure I understand, I just thought that for the price and the amount of land, it was a shoo-in for you.”
“Tell me, what is the price and any terms or contingencies of any sort?”
“The price is over a hundred thousand below your budget and it is free and clear. In fact, it is an estate, the previous owner passed quite some time ago and it has been in limbo while the family fought over what to do with the property. You go in and offer cash, I would be willing to bet you could knock off another hundred and fifty thousand, which would cover a piece of equipment you need to buy.”
I chuckle. “Ok, I will at least take a look, but no promises. I still maintain that I would prefer less of a project considering I have been in nothing but project mode for the last three years. Speaking of which, since the last time we have spoken, any luck on selling those last two condos at Cannon Beach Surfside?”
“I was hoping you would forget to ask.” She laughs, “I am still waiting to hear back from their agent, the buyer’s lender is dragging their feet. Until we hear back, we are in a holding pattern. As for the vineyard, when do you want to go out there?”
I look at my watch and notice it is only 4:30 PM, “How about now?”
“Wha…what? Now? Well, I suppose we could do that. I have an appointment this evening but I could move that to the morning…it will take at least an hour to get there though and with the traffic, I am afraid you won’t get much in the way of sunlight.”
“That’s okay, it’s not sunlight I am after, I want to see the sunset. You said it’s on a knoll. Then perhaps it has spectacular sunsets.”
“Well, perhaps you are right. Okay then, let me make a few calls and we can go.”
“I will pick you up in twenty minutes then.”
“Oh, okay that sounds perfect. I’ll just come down to the curb in twenty then.”
As I pull up to the curb, Olivia is just leaving the building. I come to a complete stop and watch her walking my direction with a large smile on her mature face. I am thirty-four and I would wager a guess that she is at least forty-five. She is a beautiful and sexy woman in a Mrs. Robinson way. Built like an old-fashioned woman with a traditional hourglass shape. Her features remind me a little of Sophia Loren with dark brown glossy hair, wide brown eyes, full lips and a proportionate nose. She is sophisticated yet sexy as hell. I never really noticed her in this way before, it must be my loneliness getting the better of me. I know better than to ever mix business with pleasure but if I were to, she would definitely be fun to take for a spin. I hop out of my car and head to her side to open the door for her. She smiles a brilliant smile and then settles into her seat while expressing her thanks.
Once we are heading down the road, she gives me instructions to get us on the right road to head out of town. Caressing the leather seat with her hand, “Wow, this is really a beautiful car, it smells new.”
“Yes, I just got this a couple months ago. I negotiated a great deal with the Range Rover Company and got if for a decent price.”
“Well I like the black with the tan interior, its sexy…if fits you.”
What a little minx. I do believe she is flirting with me.
An hour into the drive and we approach our destination, just as the sun is starting its decent
