I'm thinking it was 3/4 acre, about 25 minutes from Boulder. No driveway to the property. It was a very narrow lot with setback problems and difficult or impossible to install a typical septic. Probably possible to sink a well.

There are deals around for small properties like this but this wasn't one of them. I've seen reclaimable foreclosures of similar log homes in much better shape for $50,000.

Probably $70,000 min. for something comfortable and livable within 30 min. drive of Boulder or Denver.

10,000 sq. ft., Jae. It has been unoccupied for a year. Check out the burners on the boiler...

I'm with ya Kent, it can be really interesting and enjoyable.
