<\/a>Small cabin on 3.3 acres<\/p><\/div>\n
The views from the lot overlook South Park and are pleasant:<\/p>\n

We marked this one as\u00a0a possibility, but it didn’t really ‘speak” to us as our dream lot.<\/p>\n
The next place we visited, near Lake George, is a 10 acre lot with a couple of cabins on it.<\/p>\n
<\/a>10 acre Lake George lot<\/p><\/div>\n
This lot is the best we have come across in a while. It has a good mix of pine and Aspen, is gently sloping, has two wells and a septic in place, and access is very good. Views are not great from the lot but not bad from the access road. There are 2 small cabins on the property, one has water and the other does not. \u00a0Electricity is on the lot.<\/p>\n

There must be more to the story of this lot than meets the eye. Why are there 2 wells on the property, and we found what appears to be an easement to a property behind this one. The other cabin is in sorry shape as is a small storage shed near it. The lot “spoke” to us, the cabins also spoke to us – they said “tear us down!” \u00a0We may explore this one a bit more, but only as a lot. The cabins would have to go and a new place built closer to the meadow area.<\/p>\n
The 3rd stop of the day was to visit an off-grid cabin that sounded interesting, and it was.<\/p>\n

Located off the side of a side road, this cabin has a great deal of \u00a0charm. It has lots of trees, a hand-pump well, a great deck, and overlooks a meadow. Down side is the driveway into it is steep and electrical service is quite some distance away. I didn’t realize quite how steep the drive was until I took this photo of Pam hiking it on the way out:<\/p>\n

Note how the top of the drive is still above Pam’s head! Winter access would be problematic at best (think ski tow…). For all of that this is an appealing cabin. Now if we could just put it on the Lake George lot…:)<\/p>\n
The last stop of the day was to see a cabin that seems close to what we would like to eventually have for ourselves. This neat and tidy place is for sale near Fairplay.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Neat cabin<\/p><\/div>\n
Located on several acres, the owners of this place have thinned some of the trees and cleared all underbrush, plus put up a neat and tidy cabin. Obviously a weekend get away place, the cabin has a nice storage shed behind it. Overall this appeals to our Midwest sense of tidiness and order. \u00a0 No view at all, however.<\/p>\n
Some of the cabins we’ve seen have hand-pump wells. This place also has one, converted to run from an electric motor.<\/p>\n
