It's fun to have a little history in your life, and when it involves purchasing a cabin, it makes the process seem less cumbersome.
Our soon to be property received a homestead patent in1894, signed by Grover Cleveland. March 30th, 1894 to be exact. What else could be so exciting?
This phrase: "with all water and water rights used for irrigation and ditching"
Finding a property with water was hard enough, finding one with water rights that wasn't a $300k+ ranch... amazing. The sellers don't even know, but that's why I read everything and pay for the extra stuff like a survey, appraisal and inspection. Enjoy a few pictures from this past weekend!
The title search is done, the appraisal is done, the inspection will be done Monday and the plot survey done in the next week.
Zucchini, squash, beans, cucumbers, peppers, hot peppers, spicy peppers, lettuce, asparagus, more squash, more zucchini, 20 tomato plants, raspberries, blueberries and more.
We have been busy. I'll try to swing by some blogs but it's my busy time of the year at work so I'll not promise. I hope everyone is enjoying spring, I'm enjoying allergies!
Nice looking place. I hope you close with no surprises.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the inspection went fairly well. I might just become an optimist.
DeleteCongratulations Max, Enjoy! Its been a total zoo here also. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope things are at least good and hectic.
DeleteCongrats on the water, it's more important than gold.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Not that we would take water from the creek on t he secret, but having rights is a big increase in resale should we need to.
