Here is some more land that we looked at near Entre Lagos. The videos are a little raw because we were going it 4x4 the whole time. It is a total of 4 videos with one of them showing a little of the entry to the town Entre Lagos and the lake. Please comment, rate and subscribe!

Leaving the land and going into Entre Lagos at the Lake
Down Side first:
1. The entry will cost some money to upgrade with grading and gravel. This will not be cheap in the $1K to $3K range.
2. The Barn has been vandalized has started to rot and needs a lot of work.
3. The property does not have water or power and power would cost around $2K
4. About 1/2 the land is unusable in its current state because it has become over grown with this short bamboo and will need to be tilled under and plowed several times (read more money here $$$).
5. The access to the river where the slope is most gentle was purchased by someone else (around 2 acres) and they will have permanent access across the land to get to theirs. Which divides the property. We did not expect to have neighbors so close.
6. The seller thought that the adjoining owner would sell some more property, but the farmer did not think he could for at least 5 years.
7. We are still waiting to see if our provider can get us internet at the land. THIS IS A BIG DEAL and a Deal Breaker if we can not get good internet to the land.
Lets leave on the positive side eh?
What was nice:
1. There were excellent views that could be had with some tree trimming which is normal.
2. The Land has around 600 feet on a very nice river which we could bulldoze a path down to eventually and put a small hydro plant on with out the need for permits etc.
3. There were two nice spots for a house and possibly two more with lesser views.
4. The access was one mile which meant that it was a good security measure. Any thief would have to drive a mile across the farmers property, and go through two gates, to get to this land.
Based on all these factors and comparing to other property we have seen the price is on the high side, with the access and the work needed on the land as big problems! As we were driving down to the land we were in 4x4 for about 1/2 the way. I was picturing trying to get our container down there with the side load truck. So before we can even try to set up shop and home we will need to spend thousands of dollars on the access which is actually on someone else's land. All these things are being considered.
