Visited this cabin that is for sale, yesterday, that sits on 50 acres. Off-grid. Propane. Generator.
Property sits on a 25 acre lot, included is the adjacent 25 acre parecl. Small HOA of about 20 lots make up the area.
There's also a pond with pavilion/community area.
Access in winter is snowmobile/cat only, unless you wanted to plow the road (approx 6 miles).
I swear it has termites...
This is the view...
Price: $475,000 USD
zoom in for, what i believe is, termite damaged wood....
Yep, but inactive by the looks.
Source: I won a prize for termite research when I was 9
Used decoratively correct?
that's sus.
it was built in the 60's.
I'll wager it sat empty for long periods of time.
I only guess at this because it does not appear to be on anything structural from what I can tell in the picture.
agreed, underneath looked fine, though open, thus would be COLD AF in winter...
Bro I just saw the op dang it looks amazing.
I really hope itβs not actually termite damage for your sake.
definitely not buying, just made us recognize how lucky we got on our cabin 10 years ago. Prices seem double what I think this should be.
A campsite is $225,000 (25 acres)
so technically, math-wise, the cabin is free. lol
Ah ok damn I get yaβ¦.
I let a really nice 50acre property with water & gas wells full ground rights, solar system, thermal heat pump, satellites on site.
It was a old/new hotel on a hunting track.
18 rooms
2 full commercial kitchens
Dining room & banquet hall
2 massive garage pole barns.
Slip though my fingersβ¦..
Was 50k when I was going to buy
6 years later
Now trying to sell for 1.5m with now upgradesβ¦.
What state, and what's the distance to closest town/city/airport?
I'd say these are relatively accurate, although the turn into the canyon is really on 15 minutes from Coalville, but it's a small town without a "real" grocery store.
Happy to provide a link to the listing if you'd like.
Nice mate π€
Give it 10 years and this will be <100M Sats
What's the HOA like? I won't ever buy property with that hanging over my head.
seems a non-issue, definitely no policing going on....
I haven't seen anything up in this area for sale, ever, now suddenly five lots listed, one sold right away.
I think someone died...
It's not so much policing, it's just being able to do what I want with my own property without have to bother with asking permission from anyone else unless it might impact my neighbors (because I'm not a complete douche).
This is probably right up your alley...
I asked about the water, and the response I got???
"The property owner said the well was already dug when they bought the property, so they are unsure if it was legally done.... But it's not like anybody's going to come up and check it out, or anything."
π
Honestly, that's the response I'd expect from an old realtor in a small Utah town...
But with power, free-water and several gates and no year-round access, could be a "farm" π
That's not bad. Could put up a big solar array and even run a small fabrication shop for not too crazy an amount of money...
Water, road access, then structures would be the main considerations in that order IMO.
Even if you had to take down that whole structure and rebuild the price is probably worth it as long as thereβs a water source (or enough rain for collection at the very least)
Iβd be careful to review the HOA documents before getting too interested. Iβm pretty anti-HOA but gave one HOA property a shot. Reading their rules, sure enough, no chickens allowed, only horses. π«
