What are you learning about likes/dislikes?

1. 40 or more acres that trails can be made on with terrain (hills, not swamps)
2. Within 80 miles of here. Closer is better.
3. If it has a cabin, must be serviceable or repairable.
4. A cabin can't be near a loud and busy highway.
5. Lake snow area is a plus but not a necessity.

Pond, creek or small open area might be a nice plus.

We agree, but creeks are bridges or culverts to be added.

Yes, we are looking for a few acres out of town with or without a camp (house) on it. We hope to have a few trails on it. Here is one we looked at on 40 acres plus a partially built house on it. Looked to not have been worked on in 4 to 10 years and never lived in and construction was DIY mess in many, many ways. The lookout on the roof leaks like a sieve. They must have pulled a camper here to work from. I'll post photos as we look at other locations. We contracted the realtor and not heard back.

UPDATE! Seems this property was not sold. So we looked at it again and decided the house is to just to far gone for us to repair.

We looked at this property again over the weekend. The cabin is within 6 feet of the creek and we predict will be washed away within 5 years. The bridge across the creek to it is also a mess and we've lost all interest in it. Its got to many issues for us.
