~15 years ago neighbors had to do a 2,500' run for electric and phone, the cost was $75,000. If others connected to the lines within 10 years the newbies had to pay a share of the $75K. I'm guessing the same 2,500' run today would be closer to $150K.

About 10 years ago we picked up the last three lots on this dead-end road with plans to build a smaller home after retirement. 8 years into retirement we still own the lots and have done nothing with them. There has been no further development on this town maintained dead-end road. We should probably sell our 3 lots, we've been offer three times our original investment.

I'm 95% certain we'll need to go off grid power.

It has never been easier to do than it is now. Panels and LiFePO4 batteries are at an all time low cost wise. A small cabin for 2 can easily be run off grid. BTW I really like the looks of the cabin, overall it looks great. I know it is hard to see the issues in a pic like that, but it really looks like it has potential.

40K to get power out there would be a tough pill to swallow. Forest company might not allow that as well. Realtor says we should hear about our offer today.

Our realtor, never heard back from the sellers realtor, who ironically work for the same company, so our bids end date was last night. I did speak with the sellers realtor sometime ago, who is elderly and struggles with crazy new things like texting and email. If he's not communicating well, this might work in our favor. Our guy will see what is happening today.

There is absoultly no reason to get on grid anymore. There are so many cheap home battery systems that can provide any power demands needed.

When I built my cabin in 2016, I was researching how to power it. At the time, the best $/KWH was a diesel generator. In 10 years that has totally changed to a solar generator and solar panels. It's so much better to not have to hear a generator run and once the cost of the equipment has been paid, it's basically free power with no fear of outages.
