This property would be perfect for anyone who wants to be an owner-builder. The infrastructure is completely in place, ready for you to move on to the property in a comfortable, safe and secure dwelling while you (or the contractor of your choice) build the home of your dreams right outside your door. It would be easily achievable to build on this parcel and enjoy $100k of instant equity.

This is exactly what we did. When we completed our dream house, we moved our mobile onto this property, knowing that some lucky person will be able do what we (two adults and three kids) did - without the headaches of first bringing septic, power, well and a place to live onto the property.

There's even enough timber on the property to build a significant portion of your home from your own logs, if you wish.

The mobile is a 1977 14 x 65 Homette, and title elimination has not been done. What this means is that the property taxes will remain the same affordable $423, (plus about $65 of personal property tax for the mobile). When and if you decide to build a new home on the property, sell it and let some other lucky family do as you have done on their own property.

Get rich quick? No, building a home is hard work, but I can tell you from personal experience that it could be the most lucrative year ever.

1. If I had the cashola, I'd move in tomorrow.

That fucking place is mountian bike heaven.

How close to the flood plain are you?

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. It's far enough up the valley that flooding isn't a problem

Downriver, nearer the Chehalis, it can suck.

But at any rate, the building site is about 50' above the river.

You're right about mountain bike heaven, too. :)

Where do you live now?
