Camp property search

[old and tired]

Every listing over a few weeks old, were just crappy land when we were looking. Good land is bought pretty quick.

We had a friend that's always looking at land to buy - he called us up and said, we needed to see this land that just went on the market, if we didn't buy it, he was going to.

This was Christmas day... so we left the next day and drove 9 straight hours to the listing realtor and someone had already saw it before us!

They wanted house and land, we only wanted land. 30 minutes later we put an offer in. Wife wanted 5 to 10 acres (I wanted more) so we settled for 28 acres!!

Good luck on your offer search! We've stumbled into a place our friends are selling in OK and we're working on the contract to buy it. It's kind of stressful, to be honest.

That's exciting!!! Hopefully it will all work out successfully.

Eddie, I'll be really excited if we make this happen. Shellie and I actually have the plans for the house of the place we're hoping to buy, because we planned to build the exact same house on our own place, once we found property. We never dreamed the place we were trying to copy would become available for us to purchase. So far, it's going smoothly with the contract and negotiations. The sellers have been long-time friends of ours and none of us want to ruin that. Fingers crossed it continues to go smoothly. I'll PM you details when we have a contract signed.

Having the house you want already there is amazing!!! Why are they selling?

They just decided they want to go back to being full-time RV'ers for a while and they're not ready to settle down. They don't have kids and have always had a 5th wheel. They built the place and have lived there about 8 years, but ultimately didn't like being tied down with a place and doing the upkeep.

Here is a 80 acre partial with a mile road (we hiked) in through state land to it. Quite a rustic road in with wet pots etc, etc.. Road was rougher than my photos show.View attachment 3986046View attachment 3986047View attachment 3986049View attachment 3986050View attachment 3986051View attachment 3986052

I didn't read back through this whole thread, but what's your purpose for the camp? Just a getaway, hunting/fishing, eventual retirement, future build site?

Back at this one yesterday and took pics of its bottom side. We've had a wet summer and the grasses, weeds and shoots made walking the property very difficult. Cabin is quite rustic.

Here is another we looked at again yesterday but this time, the owners happened to be there along with there son and grandson. What nice people. Gee was it a fun AND a adventurous stop. We learned more about the property and house in and hour, than speaking with the realtor for all day. The son invited us to see along to see a bridge located behind there property and since we wanted to see more of their property anyway, we went along. Gosh, it was an adventure ride. We were the only ones with saws, tools and tow ropes.
