Wow. I haven’t been keeping up with costs over the last 40 years. I’ve ignored the idea that I might need to drag out those expenses someday.
BTW, I don’t live there
I really haven’t spent that much. More of a DIY type who hasn’t kept records/receipts as never considered selling. Now, with arthritis and 80 yoa……
Characteristics:
133 acres that cost about $400 per acre a long time ago. Now, like properties with no improvements are going for $8 to 10k per acre. My phone never stops ringing.
Mobile home that I recently had under pinned. Needs work. Actually more of a $6,000 white trash trailer house that I bought a long time ago.
Dozer work to build a road through the place (1 mile).
Dozer work selective land clearing
2 to 3 acre pond when full. That’s rare
1/4 acre pond when full
Spring fed creek when there’s not a drought.
Bunch of deer blinds and feeders throughout the place
Storage stuff:
Shipping container
Construction office trailer
4 bay Tractor shades that I built
Septic system $$$
Water well $$$
Water piped100 underground yards to house and 50 yards to cattle pen. Did those myself
Well house
Electricity
Rented propane tank
Sewer tank and spray system. That got expensive
Approx 3 acres of coastal Bermuda grass
8 ft tall Cattle pen
John Deere with 4WD and FEL
Ford 8N
2 4wheelers
16 ft trailer and 4x 6 trailer plus a converted pickup bed trailer.
Lots of equipment. Bush hog mower, breaking plows, mower, disc, seeder, box blade and probably more.
Several unusable antique plows and old tractor stuff(junk)
Shooting range with stations at 25, 50 and 100 yards
Concrete ramp leading up into the front gate.
Gravel road 75 yards from gate to house
Deer blinds
This is the first time I’ve ever detailed out the improvements and characteristics. Had the place about 40 years but live in Fort Worth area. The property is 80 miles from home.
If I were selling I would advertise about an acre of blackberries started from bird droppings in 3 different places and some wild plum trees. All the rocks that anyone would ever want
