What if you could build a brand new home that looks like it’s been standing for 200 years? 🏡

That’s exactly what we’re dreaming of for our future home on our 25 acres!

We’re combining timeless Georgian architecture with old-world European charm. Natural stone, beautiful architectural details, and a roof that feels like it belongs on a centuries-old countryside estate.

But we have a decision to make, and we need YOUR help!

We’re torn between two beautiful roofing options: natural slate or wood shake shingles.

We each have our favorite, but we want to know what YOU would choose!

👇 If you were building this house, which roof would you choose? SLATE or SHAKE? Tell us in the comments!

Follow along as we turn 25 acres of empty farmland into something truly special. 🌳

Slate!!! I lived in a house built in 1926 with slate shingles for 17 years - never had an issue with roof.
