Facts about CoyoteCottage for a potential buyer.

The price is $200.000

We have about $110.000 into the place including land, well, driveway, all the structures and systems. This does not include my labor and all the head scratching, nor does it take into account the yearly appreciation. Despite the economic wasteland that surrounds us there must have been some appreciation? So anyway, $200.000 seems reasonable.

This is off course an impossible sum to come up with for most of the people we would want to take over. And since our homestead here is a little out of ordinary in the eyes of the generic real estate market it might be difficult to get a loan for it. With such trials in mind we will gladly offer owner financing with a small down payment.

The land is 15 acres, of which 7-8 are reasonably flat. The rest is a hilly barrier towards the highway. 90% of it is in native vegetation, with very few weeds. Wildlife abounds.

When we purchased the land nobody had lived here before, nor was it developed in any way. We had a driveway of sorts put in and the folks with the right equipment drilled a well for us.

Behind the property are 40 acres of government land, virtually inaccessible from public roads. Nobody goes here but us and the neighbor's horses. We maintain a 2.5 mile hiking trail in this and adjoining areas.

The well is 150' deep. water was found at 115'. The test at the time of drilling gave us in excess of 25 gallons per minute. So it is a good well.

On the land are the following structures: The cabin, which is much talked about here on the site. The shop, which is bigger than the cabin. The open barn. And finally the shed. So four buildings. In addition to this there's the compost bin/solar shower/outhouse enclosure.
