Well the title says it all....Im bout too buy some real nice property above 8k foot elevation.....And I was thinkin about a few options but the Yurt seems too be the best....does anyone have any advice or wisdom too pass on.
Check the building codes in the county you are looking in to see if they recognize yurts as permenent dwellings. Alot do...some don't. A handful of counties have no building codes.
Perc test. Some props won't perk and the septic will need to be engineered/etc... which translates into $$$$.
Check water availability/etc. Can you drill a well? How many acres?
4 season access? There is A LOT of property out there. Getting to it is a different story in some instances...and will reflect on the price.
Sounds cool. We are moving in that direction ourselves......
Shipping container made of metal? BRRRRRRR. Lotsa insulation.condensation considerations... and again...building code restrictions may apply.
can't wait to hear more.....
Colorado Yurt CO is in Montrose www.coloradoyurt.com
Sounds cool, bro. When's the yurt-warming party?
If the realtor/owner doesn't have a copy, you can get a copy of the Well permit for the property and the augmentation plan for that area/district from the State easily..online I think @ this point. Knowing the permit is valid/and the restrictions for use on the well is important (IMO).
We have to report our usage to the State every 6 months on our 3 acre property because if you own under 35 acres you cannot irrigate outside/gardens/etc legally unless you have a specific right to do so.
Can't wait to see this unfold for ya... Are you trying to make a push on this yet this season??
