The same time we were out there looking at the cabins interior and hiking the property again, the owners lowered the price by 25K. We also learned its being sold by the parents because the owner had died of cancer at 50+ of age a year ago. They didn't know there was a cabin out on this property. Seems they are motivated to sell it.

If you have good water to the cabin, and power, it's got a ton of potential!!!

Power is .7 of a mile away and I'm told not cost effective to bring in.. So it would be off-grid. Most camps pound in a sand point down and get water what I could call "a shallow" well. The hill this camp is built on seems to be a ancient sand dune.

Off Grid makes me nervous. I know a few people that did it and they all ended up selling and moving to a house with power.
I would talk to the power company and see what the cost is to bring power there. In my case, I was asked how much power I will be using by filling out a form that they had that lists everything I plan on using the power for. I included barns, shops, two houses and all my power tools. They said that I met their requirement to run it to my place for free. If I remember correctly, it was close to 2,000 feet. They had to go across the highway, down the highway to my property line, then another 800 feet into my place. I think they installed ten poles just to get here.

I checked about bringing power to our hunting land (about 1/4 mile) It was about $1.00/foot.

Yes, super cheap. It's $10/ft where I am. That's why I'm off-grid.

A neighboring hunt camp is off grid and it uses solar.
