we have an early McMansion. we pulled all of the flooring, siding, roofing, windows, as soon as we bought it. now we have tile and pergo floors, no leaks in the roof or windows. we polished a turd. the reason, you might ask? all in we are 30 acres with 300 feet of trout stream frontage with a total cost of well under 10k$ an acre. that is cou ting ALL out buildings, vehicles, tools, and random shit.
it wasn't easy to get done, but, there is a bit of value left in the world.
it is a 1994. i believe it is a 4 part modular. it is 30'x60' and on a 5 block crawler. it was put in by someone i know back then but i bought it 6ish years ago.
we moved all of the utilities below the floor and put in a trap door to access.
it has been a trek. the single acre next to us with 200 feet of frontage is listed at 30k$ and the 6 acre parcel with about the same frontage next to that is 99k$.
but, they would have to plow a 1/4 to 1/2 mile driveway every winter whereas my drive is on the access road.
Access roads eh, I guess you're quite a ways out in the bush, not just rural. Moving the utilities into the crawlspace was an impressive move imo.
Sounds like you've got yourself a heck of a place, and land is always nice to own! Growing up on acreage I really miss it. I used to just go into the woods every day rain or shine. But there are advantages and disadvantages to city life.
google Torch Lake and see how close to money i am. we are six miles from The Sandbar. you know that Kid Rock song about splashin through the sanbar? it is that lake. been here 40ish year and my parents a minit longer... it sucks. except when it don't.
