Re: [MBZ] W210 4Matic Wanted
I don't remember for sure, I think it was $1 "and other value considerations".We actually inherited but Reg wasn't dead yet. The fear was that he would need years in a nursing home and the land would get taken by the state and sold at auction. Dad and I were the only ones in the family who both wanted the place and had the resources to keep it. The tax value on the 70 acres with the camp is about $40k but remember we don't have any road frontage although there is deeded access, and we don't have electricity (well, not grid power) or running water. The other 15 acres sits right on the river, a good spot for a house but you'd need to build the foundation bottom and existing grade and fill in around the house to meet flood code. I think that parcel is valued at $20k or so. Or it was anyway, news reports say people are "flooding into Arostook county" to escape the COVID. I suspect after their first winter they'll flood back. -Curt On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 8:29:17 PM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: Just out of curiosity how much did you have to pay for this vast estate back in the day, if you don’t mind me asking?

Re: [MBZ] W210 4Matic Wanted
The river/river bank is public, the access is across his land. To be clear though, this is the corner of about an 8 acre field on the other side of the road from where the house is. The other corner of the field has a cemetery (containing many of my ancestors) so he can't close access from the paved road. I haven't been down since July but dad says he's put posted signs all over, although none on the border with us yet. The border between his land and ours is somewhat contentious. Its a great big field that the previous owners decided they owned half of. The real property line was the brook that surrounds the field but they somehow convinced a judge that its right smack down the middle of the field. They did this while my uncle Reg still owned the place but was dying so he couldn't fight them.That said I was looking at the tax maps the other day and they are still drawn with the brook as the line. I'm curious where the new owner thinks the line is... -Curt On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 5:25:01 PM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: He trespasses people for driving/walking on his land to fish, or for simply using the river and/or the river bank (I assume it's a navigable waterway)?

Re: [MBZ] W210 4Matic Wanted
AFAIK the house is a tear down. I'm not sure theres enough there to patch. Caldon, who has been living there my whole life, lost the whole farm back in like 2001 or so. His brother Paul bought it but he didn't live there, he lives in central Maine somewhere. I think he's looking to retire but not to the farm. Caldon has apparently been living in an apartment in town since spring. Houses in northern Maine are frequently built "Good enough". They get it livable and never do anything else other than the minimum to keep it from falling down. I remember when I was 13 and went up for my first hunting trip there was a garage they were building that you could see from the road. We spotted it on the drive up, they had put up all the studs and finished the roof. By the time we drove home they had put a car in it. The following year the garage was full of boxes and other culch but they hadn't put the outer sheathing or garage door on yet.Its now 31 years later and the garage sits exactly the same as it did that second year, its full to the rafters but has no walls other than the studs. I can only imagine the volume of racoon poop... -Curt On Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 4:32:52 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: On 07/10/2020 3:26 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: > Funny you should mention that, next week we're meeting with the guy who owns >the farm next to mine, he wants to sell out and I'm looking to buy. > Our access road is deeded access across that farm so a prospective buyer > can't lock us out but could potentially make it a hassle.
