I'm just curious so thought that I would run this by you guys to see what some of your opinions are. I own 20 secluded acres in SW Washington. It has a 36' x 36' shop with semi finished loft. Well and septic installed close to 30 years ago. Nice root cellar that needs doors finished (bears have broken in twice this year and made a mess). The house is a single wide with additions that would need to be removed. Lots of good building materials though as we milled much of our own beams and other dimensional lumber for the additions that could be used for other projects. We raised a family there but about 10 years ago after a divorce I walked away and really haven't been back except for very short visits to put stuff in the cellar or to pickup something from the shop. I've moved on and remarried and now have no desire to ever return. We lived off the grid with some solar and diesel generators charging a battery bank but in the last 5 years power has been brought in to the neighbors next door so it can be available for a reasonable investment if desired. A mix of fir and alder trees with some open areas (had horses and a milk cow at one point). The place is accessed though a 2 1/2 mile gravel road off the pavement that is maintained by the land owners. Almost all work was done without the assistance of the county building department so it might be complicated if getting them involved in the future. Good area on property for a short shooting range. Really lots of potential, just overgrown and full of junk at this point. Anyway, sorry for the long post but wanted some opinions on possible value and what to clean up or leave. I already know a lot of stuff from my prior life (raised 4 kids there) will need to be hauled off but other things like an untitled (hoping to get a title) 5 wheel travel trailer in nice shape could be valuable to a potential buyer. Since it's been sitting for several years it's going to take some work. We do have a uninstalled manual (or could be hooked up to solar with a motor kit) water pump sitting in the shop or maybe the old 24 volt DC submersible water pump in the well may still work. Borders National forest on bottom and private forest land on top. Ex wife owns 20 acres (bare land) on one side that she wants to sell but also has not been very active in doing so. The property includes part of a 6 to 7 acre beaver pond that years ago was stocked with bluegill, bass and catfish. Otters have moved in and out over the years so not sure what is left of the fish population at this point. Anyway, I have decided to sell as I'm retired and just don't have the mental or physical energy to deal with it at this point. Any ideas on value?
