    Default Amish Cabin and 4-1/2 acres for sale.

    Not a classified ad....just throwing it out there that the cabin and land next to me on the east is for sale.
    Called the real estate agent...got a message....so waiting for details on price taxes etc.

    I know the guy and not sure why he is selling.....Might buy it myself...(did with the last piece...LOL)

    Can include pic's if anyone is interested.

    Amish built cabin, 30 X 16 ft., 8 ft. porch...full loft.

    No electric, well or septic, but has road access.

    Is on the Kickapoo River in SE Wisconsin.

    Don't tell Mrs. H I said that.

    Mrs H say buy it and move the cabin down below the hill for a studio, guest house and storage....
    I would need 20K worth of dozer work to get it from there to here.....LOL

    Be easier to just haul in materials and build he a "women cave"....but I still need a garage/shop.....It never ends.

    Good solid outhouse.... the importance of which is not to be discounted.


    Anybody who's tempted....the no electricity thing can be pretty relaxing. Couple propane lamps, a few good books, bottle of rum maybe and you're off to the races.

    Also good things.

    This is giving me cottage envy. And reminding me that my place needs a whole bunch of trees cutting down. Maybe your neighbour would swap? Ambitious gazebo in southern quebec for an amish cabin in Wisconsin.

    Odd thing is that the guy that owns it lives in a small town about 30 miles away....is in late 60's and married late in life.

    Farmer and over the road truck driver....always seemed to me to be the last guy that would spend the money....and he did pay a premium for the lot on the river.

    Never really seen him or I should say them,..... except to spend a day,....cut the grass and do chores.
    She like to dress up in Amish long dresses and bonnets....

    Nice down to earth guy...and I was kinda worried that they were selling.... and asked the real estate lady if they were OK.
    Guess they are just don't use it.

    Hopefully I don't get a "city people" neighbor.......the kinda that doesn't like shooting, and whizzing off the porch.....LOL

    So PM me if you want the number, about a trade....

    BTW
    Did y'all notice that the outhouse door has a lock on it?........Guess they don't want their "ship" stolen.
    (that made me laugh)

    Had a friend that has an outhouse alone the river.....IP in coffee....finds a couple of bucks in the can from time to time from the canoe people.

    That looks like a wonderful little place Hunter. Is the $89K a reasonable price for 5 acres and a cabin in that area? Seems kind'a high based on local values here in Oklahoma.

    I thinking, yeah, as it's on the river....I know what a well, septic, and electric cost.....So, I'm thinking maybe $20K high.

    4 hours from Chicago, so it will sell......hope the new guys don't put up street lights, stockade fence, and call the Sherriff while we are deer hunting legal distance from the cabin.

    No kidding. Good neighbors are so valuable. I hope whoever ends up with it sees what a blessing they are getting in the neighbors they are getting!
