In a couple of years, this would have been VERY tempting.
I wonder how much they want.
That's pretty cheap, wonder why.
I couldnt find the address. But if the map is correct its on the other side of the ridge from Johnnys. The house doesn't look to be in great shape.

Now I see it, $21K. I just called the price is legit. It has 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, not sure of dining room, a dirt drive, septic and running water.
The block house doesn't look like much but how often can you find a house on an acre for $21K? I could probably put down 25% but without a job and no income, I doubt a back would approve me.
no, but she's the only one with a plan for a hostel/hiker place in the area... She can't use her other house for a hostel any more, and it's for sale...
As I understand it, she could keep the house as long as the girls were minors. When they became of age, she had to sell the house as a condition of the divorce, or else buy him out.... I was there in 05 too, several times including the big blizzard at the end of April.
The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
I'm sorry to hear that. It was a great place! I was there at the beginning of April, just after a big snowstorm we got caugh in between Hot Springs and there. I was just south of Bland when the storm at the end of April hit...luckily up there it was only a couple of inches!
Houses are a dime a dozen, especially one that needs work, at least here in Michigan. Land hasn't lost it's value as much. $21,000 sounds pretty high to me in today's market. I would offer less, but I'm not familiar with the current market in the Erwin area. Some distressed places on an acre or more are going for under 10,000 around here - if you have the cash.
If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is
ad astra per aspera
figure that that is the price for the land. my guess is that the house is probably on a par with your poorer shelters. must only be a couple of miles from Uncle Johnnies.
