Camp property search

[ArlyA]

I don’t understand people who don’t try to dress up the property and get rid of trash before they try to sell. I’m assuming we’re talking a couple hundred grand anyway here for the sale.. take that junk to the dump or rent a dumpster. When you see crap everywhere it’s safe to assume nothing else was cared for and who know what other stuff they’ve dumped in the soil.

I think it was listed at 350K and had 50 acres. There was lots more junk laying around that what I showed. Many locations we have looked at, have garbage left here and there. Cleaning up a property to sell, would be the 1st thing we'd do.

Returned to this acreage on Sunday with dearest and for the life of me, I can't find the post where me and mutts looked at it a while ago. With the snow lower, we can see the terrain and its wetness better. Top photo taken weeks ago when just I looked at it, lower all from yesterday. Its just 40 acres with a building site started and given up. A garage pad and rough lumber stacks is whats here. I liked the slightly rolling property but dearest did not.....

Will look at a couple today. One is interesting while the other is so, so but we are in the area so why not.

We drove a bit east and seen this property. We do this to see what snow is remaining and where is the water going. This terrain was quite rough with 100's of feet of elevation change on it. Has 100 acres that was harvested out many years ago, I'd guess 50. We are interested. Seen below is the locked gate at the property line. Its surrounded by privet forestry land. Most of this pics are walking around the logging paths which are grown-over and in spots, the snow was still deep. Logging paths would be easier to put ski trails in on. Its a 1/2 mile in from a major highway and we walked after the snow got to deep to drive through.. The forestry road going in looked quite good. Another post will follow.

You’re going to need that tractor if you buy that one. It looks like an interesting property which I think is what your after.

Nice looking piece of land!!!

Some more pics, mostly of the log house. Maybe it could be made into a garage or shed type building? As with logs houses, they need care which this one missed out on. Seen in the bottom photo, property has a dam and pond on it.

The log cabin looks like an easy project to have something really nice.

Is that the same cabin on the other side of the pond picture?

Yes, but its maintenance/updating mess. I think for 100,000 you could make it winter livable.

Logs need oil to keep them happy. With such a small building, and only going up 8 feet, that should be a quick day project every five years.

If you hire everything out, $100,000 should give you a super nice log cabin. If you do it yourself, I bet $20,000 would be plenty.

Not knowing the area, I would be shocked if you couldn't make money on this property once the cabin was finished out.
