Camp property found, now updates.

Did I miss it, or did we define trails? Walking, biking, ATV, SxS, game trails?

Our primary goal is to have ski trails but secondarily would be hiking. In order to have ski trails, they are sorta atv trails but we wouldn't have open to the pubic atv trails, but rather hiking and skiing etc.

All the properties we've looked at need a garage or machine shed added and the house updated while for trail building, we need a compact tractor.

Having never set foot on skis... I assume roughly 6-8 ft wide of clear space, but allowing plenty of turns, twists, ect.

8ft would be minim since our roller is close to that. That property is in the lake snow zone and when operating in deep snow, space is your freind.

Looked at a used JD 3032 today. Should I start a new thread on that?

What's the response time if law enforcement decides to actually respond to an ADT intrusion report?
Our house is wired for security but after living here for a couple months I convinced my wife to stop bothering arming the alarm; if you were lucky and a sheriff happened to be nearby maybe it would be a few minutes but more likely half an hour. Now we only lock up if we're going out of town, but locks are just an advisory in the country because nobody's going to hear glass breaking anyways.

Backup plan...

Will look at a few more property's over the week as we are camping. For used property tractors I am only looking at JD's and Kubota's since we have dealerships near by.

My ear piercing, screaming siren is a pretty good deterrent. I can't imagine a thief with enough conviction to hang around with that thing going off.

New thread time?

 

[workinonit]

Nah, I deleted it since it takes away from your post.

We spoke with the financial guy this week and he thought our camp idea was a go. We have two properties lined up to see Saturday morning. I'm trying to call the owner of this one (with all the security) to gain more info on its construction.

Im enjoying watching your voyage through the process. Im quite surprised land is that ‘reasonable’ around there. Im familiar with real estate of NW Montana and the PNW, 40 acres of rural mountain is going to be around $10k an acre. Put that land within 60 miles of a decent size town or outdoor recreation hub(ski area, lake, natl park) and dont even look at the price.

Good for you on search and plans, more xc ski trails is great!

Looked at two and missed another two. Will post pics when they are processed. We camped near there and looked at camps one day and work on trails the other. Was a nice weekend.

Before you buy any property make sure you can do what are planning to do with the property. Most places in the US have cracked down hard on what you can do with a recreational property. You may not be allowed to camp there. You may not be able to place a trailer. You probably won't be able to get electricity or water without an approved septic system in place. 15 years ago we could get both with no questions asked, today the county won't allow it. (which is fine by me)

We are familiar with codes.
