just don't name one of them Mark..
it will get confusing trying to tell who's who:foot: :D
 
We should get a response from the seller today. I cant wait to hear what they have to say. I would imagine they will counter with asking a higher price with the road in place, or give us a discounted price without putting in the road. Deb say's we dont need no stinking road :D
 
it does get very snowy........you might want to at least gravel it really good :)
 
Sounds good so far. :)
Far as an access road, as long as it gets you across the ditch on the side of the road, that's all you really need!
 
I'm beginning to wonder about the seller. He must not be very motivated. Been over a week and we havent heard anything yet.

Oh well, there's always that smaller parcel with a 150' of riverfront as a backup.

We really have our hopes up on this parcel 1.9 million square feet of dirt just appeals to my noise making senses. :D
 
Mark, I'm not sure if river front property is a good idea. Its been raining for at least 30 days in a row in the northwest. River front propery in alot of areas is river. Hope the fellow calls on the other property. Alot of people that live out like where your wanting to buy are on a different time zone. There just in no big rush.

Ray is dead on about waterfront properties. My wife and I have been looking at rural properties in Austin TX area. When we checked the floodplane maps kept by the local municipal office, we found out that many of the waterfront properties would end up totally submerged during floods. We also found out that the power utility would not provide a connection unless the power pole on your property is at a point above the flood line. It would be best to check it out thoroughly first. We saw some beautiful properties that one could probably never build on because of these issues. It would also be good to speak to some of the neighbors. We found out that one property was completely covered by water 12 feet (!) deep when the floodgates on the dam upstream were opened after a long period of heavy rainfall. If you walk the property, you may find evidence of past flooding, like long grass that is all laying down in the same direction.

Hope you find your piece of heaven.

Thanks Guys,

The riverfront piece would have to rise about 15-20 feet before it would crest. Still, I'd rather be up on the hill were looking at.

Oh, and thanks for the advice on the VFD Phil. I ended up using a controller from a burnout oven to make my heat treating oven.

Mark,
Where are you looking at property here in WA? I assumed because of the size it was east of the Cascades..?
 
About as far East and North as you can get. The land we're looking at is on a hill between the Columbia and the Kettle rivers.


Here's a couple pics from the property.

I hate you! ;) :D

Edit: I just showed 'em to Nanc. She said "I hate you, too!"
Beautiful, Mark. We have our fingers crossed for ya!
 
Wow! Gorgeous view! I don't know you, but I hate you too! :D
I really hope you get this plot, 'cause you're in one of the prettiest places in the Pacific Northwest (and a scant 6 hour drive from me!)
Good luck!
 
Mark,

If it's been snowing in north east Washington likes it's been raining here in south west Washington (day 34 here:eek:) it might be the middle of July before you hear from the seller.:rolleyes:

Well well,

I guess it sank into the sellers head that I was serious. He magically faxed his counter-offer in today. He countered exactly as I expected and it is acceptable. :)
