....
"The Place".....original with travel trailers, Taj-ma shed......in use from 1990 to 2004.
You can see the new cabin up hill and behind the trailers.

I missed this post somehow. So you were one of "those neighbors" for 14 years yourself?

Yes sir I/we are/were....but still here........cabin 12 years ago....and all paid for.
LOL
The bus/yurt guy was a squatter ....gone.
Shack cabin guy, ...land contract...ran out of money.....I see this a lot.
New Amish cabin on basement ....been there for a year....we will see......
Next door real good neighbor to the west, smaller Amish cabin....been there the same amount of time as ours....no well and uses a outhouse......
Retired last April....kinda waiting to see what his next step will be.
Cabin to the east...just changed hands....guy paid about 30k for land and cabin ..12 years ago...sold for 90K no well, out house, no power.....seem OK.
Farm to the east. was one of the original farm.....that was developed...has changed hands, several times in 25 years...
First lady from Chicago...bought as an rental investment....Then rented to some a-wholes.....decided what's mine is his, and what his didn't belong to him anyway....lasted a year or so....Glad to see him go.
Next family moved in.... repaired old farm...making the "homestead" gardens, chickens, couple of goats......no insurance...had medical problems and needed a new well......ran out of money...sold out in about 6 years.
Next people moved from Alaska...she was kind of a PITA, but was a nurse. as was a adult kid.
Husband was a Posse Comitatus member.....has signs posted.....
They made money with foster children....then he went to jail for molestation.
She needed money....wanted to sell her farm for big bucks, then buy the 2 lots nest to me......
I managed to buy the 6 acres next to me before her, actually with a phone call to the realtor ....so she didn't have both lots...and sold out.
That lot has the Amish cabin that just sold.....we will see.
People that bought the farm /homestead......He lives there and works from home doing interweb stuff.
She still lives and works a lot in Chicago...
Talked to him while helping him pick tomatoes last fall...for canning......said he had a good year...ONLY cost him 250k last year... for expenses and remodeling...so far good neighbor.
Point is: The Building doesn't matter all that much....the people do,....and owners are better neighbors than renters.
