The realtor showing us the properties showed us several lots that were interesting to us. Here they are:
This first lot is just over 1 acre, is steep, but has a good flat spot for building. One bonus is that it faces South and west, perfect for being able to harness the suns energy for heating. One downside is that most of the trees on this lot are smaller. There's not the 'secluded in the pines' feel, but it's still very pretty. One advantage to this is you have much better views because you can see over the trees.
The seller is asking $23,900, but there's really no work done to the lot yet.

Smaller trees...
but beautiful views South and West.
Nice view.
This next lot is actually very pretty, but it has a couple of problems. It has a great flat spot for building, but it's quite a ways up into the lot, so building the driveway to get there would be quite the chore. However, the cabin would be nestled in a gorgeous group of pines. Very pretty.
It is also facing South in a thick forest. There would be virtually no solar gain in the winter.
He's asking $19,900, with no work done.
Right beyond me where that tree is tipping over is the flat spot for building
But this is the view down to the road...a very long driveway.
Very pretty forest.
This last lot is also facing South, so it has the same solar problems as the others. However, it has a couple of large advantages. The owner is desperate to sell, and he has already done a good deal of work to the property. He's installed the septic, he's got water and power to the house, he's already put in the driveway and leveled the building lot. And he's already got approved permits for the cabin. A very pretty lot.
So, there's a summary of the trip. It takes about 1 hour 15 minutes from our front door to this location, so it's kinda far. But the drive would be worth it. It's a beautiful canyon.

I like that the last lot already has so much of the legwork done. That will save a lot of time and money. How big is that lot? Is that another house just across the road? Is the steep mountain face just behind the flat spot a mudslide hazard?
That lot is about 1.5 acres, but is quite steep. And yes, that is another cabin across the road. Not ideal, but whatareyagonnado. The realtor said the dirt face was dug over three years ago and hasn't eroded hardly at all. So that's good to know, but certainly no guarantee that a mudslide won't happen. However, on any steep lot there is going to be a wall of dirt like that.
