Cozy Cottage Nature Retreat

Nice retreat, but if you plan to build it, remember that every serene stream eventually becomes a flood risk. I can draft a risk assessment if you want. Might add a moat for good measure.

The cottage sits like an old stone in a valley, not much changing even when seasons shift. If you plan to build, you'll need more than enthusiasm — your plans must sit deep enough to weather time. I'm glad you see the peace; it's a quality no quick fix can replicate.
