Looking for land.....suggestions needed

Kelseyville. How long ago? You probabally would not believe whats gone on around there in the past couple of years.

1983 -1986

I have gone up there for a couple visits since.

wow. I guess that everywhere changes.

There isn't a 40 acre parcle available for less then 20k an acre. Main St. in Upper Lake has the old Tallman Hotel totally redone with total yuppie spa facilities and upscale Bistro. Jim Fetzer has put in a destination winery that is second to none. Single wide mobiles sell for 250-350 and get more the further off grid they go, so they can grow hydro pot indoors.

On the West side of 29 above Lakeport they are trying to get a 1200 home development with a Jack Nicolas golf course. You'll now now why we're moving to Iowa.

she said some snow

Have they ever fixed rt 175? where it goes through the mountain pass? with all the rock slides? I dont know how many times I have been stuck waiting for bulldozers to clear the road. LOL

At one time we were in escrow buying 120 acres just above Barlett springs [above Lucerne], that forestry road continues and climbs up over and down again towards Sacramento, if you followed it all the way. It was a wonderful property, a large spring fed meadow, thick forest and two property lines were bluffs so even hikers were limited at how they could get there.

But when the seller had agreed to sale to us at $200 an acre, during escrow he sold it instead to a hunting club down in San Fransisco, filing a quit claim deed.

I would guess that it is all relative.

I have a snow-blower and snow shovels, but last win-tah I never even fired-up the snow-blower, and I never touched a snow shovel but to move them from one corner of the shed to another. I did use a broom to remove snow off of our front steps a bunch of times, but that was all.

Having lived down in Connecticut, I was expecting much more snow here in Maine. But it would appear that CT / NY / PA gets more than we do.

I am sure that on some years Mainiacs do get big snow dumps, but more often than not. It is a four inch blanket followed by a week of sunshine. So if anything disturbs the blanket, then the sunlight will melt it all away. If you dont touch it, then a little will be left when the next dump comes through. Which is how they can finally get 2 or 3 foot of build-up [it takes 6 individual storms to do it]. Whereas like on our driveway, the act of driving up and down each day, totally destroys the blanket and churns it into slush, so by day two it is gone.

I really dont see this amount of snow as being a big deal to handle.

Don't cry too much around 1996 that area got wiped out by a huge wildfire. 80,000 acres. The plume went all the way to Eastern Nevada. We live across the lake and could sit out and watch large trees exploding.

This year we had floods in March/April so the grasses have people worried. It's been over 105 for 10 days and getting hotter 116 yesterday.

Yes, well after millennia of the Redwoods and creosote brush living in a symbiotic ecosystem. Now since we have cut down most of the redwoods and replaced them with pine. The creosote brush still thrives. Each summer the leaves are wet and dripping with highly flammable creosote.

It does not take much to start a forest fire there. Nature still thinks that it needs and wants to burn each year.

Mankind is really stupid sometimes.

You can get some land next to Prymad REAL CHEAP!!!!

LOL I think we need to include prices with our recomendations...I knowthey vary all over the place.In nevada there are places ive looked at that range from 50 too 1200 bucksan acre that seem much the same to me.

We have all four seasons here in MN... had -23 last winter and 103 this summer. Bring your snowplow. Normally have enough water & growing season to grow the crops you want. There is a co-op in Long Prairie that sells small farmer products over the internet & delivers to the Cities. Also an organic feed mill in Wadena. Mpls/St Paul is 2 hours on the interstate if you need some culture.

My area (central MN) still has some cheap places. My place is 21.5 acres, ajoins state forest & 1/4 mile from river, 40 x 80 horse barn new in 1989, shop (actually an old henhouse) 4 wells, fenced, '91 singlewide. Paid 65k in 2003.

In today's paper I see a 40 acre part wood part pasture w/ 2 br mobile home for $89.5k and a 40 acre with "old farmstead" for $55k. www.kjellbergsrealty.com

Some sellers will advertise down in the Cities to get the weekend cabin people and deer hunters. The 40 acres of willow swamp to my north just sold for $100k to some metro deer hunters.

Now that is a right nice area, just North of the Northern Mass border.

Do be careful of the moose. I see wrecks all the time in the paper, folks just try to drive right on through these big moose, but few cars can survive that.
