History of the Property

Posted by Scott on 29 Aug 2009 / 0 Comment

Well here’s our brief history with the property:
Alex did an exorbitant amount of research on properties using the MLS, Craigslist and other sources before we made a trip to Eastern Washington. We found a realtor, Steve Evert, that knew the area well and began a whirlwind tour. Out of the 15+ properties we looked at the first day, Moosicorn was the second. [March 2008]

After our tour we knew this was the place and were able to negotiate the purchase of 44 acres for $115,340.05. [April 2, 2008]

Next up was to get a plan. We walked the property extensively and began making crude drawings of the property for our rough planning. We used a Garmin GPS and Google Sketchup to work out the details. Once we had a rough idea we were ready to submit our site plan. To do so we also had to ensure the moratorium of non-forestry use was lifted.

There is a fallen down old building and dried up well on the property too that indicates there was some history here. So, we’re going to go down the the county to pull records and we’ll tell you all about it as we learn more. :)
