Camp property found, now updates.

Here is one we looked at. Said to have well, septic and just needed you to finish up the interior. Skeptical of the well and septic and all buildings should be razed.

Another we looked at. House and buildings were real nice but the acreage was small and ALL poplar trees.

The one place looks like it has a lot of junk. Take that into account if you make an offer. Around here you can get info on the well and septic from the county if it’s newer. Newer being the last 50 years.

We didn't have any interest in the junk lot.

When we bought our house there was some junk laying around, I didn’t think it was that much so I let it slide. After I hauled about the sixth pickup load off I realized I should have made the seller take care of it.

He'll learn. They always do.

There is a big difference between friends and the public.

I stopped letting people hunt on my land because even friends did stupid stuff. The only ones I let on my land are the bird watchers. Now, they are a good bunch and sometimes I will join them to learn a thing or two.

When my FIL passed away, I had cousins and guys from work wanting to come hunt his woods. I basically only let the one guy hunt it that my FIL allowed. It is a hard no to all others, for all of the reasons mentioned.

The guy who does hunt it is a good hunter and very respectful. Keeps an eye out for things also and texts me if he sees things that don't seem right.

Looked at a used JD 3032 today. Should I start a new thread on that? View attachment 919465View attachment 919466

Good that it has a back hoe, you may need that for hiding certain public bodies who decide to violate your rule of no ATVs.

As of today, this camp still has the most interested for us.

Doesn't look like too much of a project to clean it up either, dogs seem to approve!

It was not built for winter stays, so it needs plenty of updates. Also no out building to speak of so we'd add a shed that's 4 car garage sized. This area see's more snow than we see here.

Shouldn't have published the phone number.
But looks good.

 

[dodge man]

Time to make an offer.

 

[Hay Dude]

Wouldn't you be concerned about liability? Someone slips and breaks their ankle and sues?

I’d be more worried about opening up to nefarious activities, like smoking weed, drinking, etc., but injuries are also a concern.
You can be sued for almost anything now.

Shouldn't have published the phone number.
But looks good.

The sellers phone number and camp ad is on Face book.

Yeah, I might swoop in and buy it!

 

[newbury]

The sellers phone number and camp ad is on Face book.

But you have added a lot of information and a good review. I've read of it happening with used tractors here. Someone posts about a good find on CL that they intend to buy, but someone else reads it and buys first. All is fair.
Close to that has happened to me.
I "needed" a PTO generator. One popped up on CL in Md. I called the guy, went and bought it.
Roy Jackson (TBN member RIP) saw the same ad. Later as I crowed about it he messaged me that he would probably have bought it but I beat him to it.
Now, I'm all about posting "good deals", but make sure I get mine first.
/edit - the generator is in my sig, new similar now goes for ~$2,300. That one cost me $600 and a 40 mile drive. It had just a few test hours on it, worked like new.

 

[ArlyA]

Still looking at camps over most weekends. Looked at a new one but we took any no photos because we had no interest in it anyway. Looked at our favorite one again but walking the property at a different location..

 

[airbiscuit]

I looked at that on Facebook - very nice. It looks like it checks a lot of boxes for you. Now, if they would reduce the price a little ....
