Wow J. that's nice. I would love you too, but will not even ask until the funds are available to really make something happen. Besides, it would be great to see you again!

Shoes if Igo is close and seems to have buds and stuff than can help you....You don't not have any guy friends to bounce ideas off of... you got us, less than completely psychotic loonies and some friends close by.
I say like you have said if you get to the point you want to make a offer have Igo swing by, a extra pair of eyeballs always helps.

A serious response...
A pellet stove or external wood burning heating system is probably your best bet. When you mentioned no furnace the 1st thing I thought was... is there natural gas available on the property? If not the expense and permits to tap into a municiple source could get expensive fast.
Although depending on the size and if you were to insulate the hell out it... electric heating could be a viable option. But you'd have to fully insulate and seal it... plus probably upgrade all the windows and doors.
I'd suggest getting a real good expert evaluation on the water situation. Sounds like there's some available... but what's the quality? Then what's the cost to plumb it for year round usage.
Septic permits and perk testing should be on record with the county... if not, then that's another thing to have a professional check/test for... again, permits and construction expenses could be real high.
Sounds like a great potential place for the dogs and the life style you are interested in. Main thing is can you finance the upgrades to make it livable year round.
Good luck Shoes!!"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

As far as I know there is no natural gas in this whole area. Everybody has oil. And I'm just not used to that. I noticed that the hot water heater had propane tanks.
Come to think of it, my uncle had an exterior wood burning system, and he loved it. I should check it out.
Oh dear.

Before you decide, ask your agent what the original price was on the property. Chances are it was higher since it's been on the market a year. Also, ask if there's been much activity, how long the current owners have had it, and why they are unloading. All that should provide you enough insight on what kind of offer to make. You can even throw in a contingency that they help out with closing costs and/or repair. All of this can be tacked onto the contract price and escrowed from the seller's proceeds at closing.
Sometimes you can score big by asking the right questions. I just sold a fixer-upper where the seller paid ALL the buyer's closing costs ($8K) plus contributed $6K to repairs while still getting $2K less than their asking price.Originally posted by Tiki-Tom You're one classy tattooed bombshell in my book.

Sparkie are you an agent? Good perspectives.
The current owner has had it since 1979. My guess is she's getting older and can't handle it anymore. Many folks are offloading summer properties in the Summertime too.
Oh dear.

The difference between this skeeter-shack and a real house, is about 30 sheets of drywall @ 7 ea. and 50 2x4 studs @ 2 ea. plus some inexpensive, beerfed labor.
I will not contribute (1) ounce of effort nor one swing of the hammer to get it there, however if you plan to enlarge the bath and put in marble flooring, I should like to push your soaped up naked flanks across it.Comment
