Pine Creek Ranch 2/19-29/24

 Dean NEEDS a project!  

We decided we wanted to build another cabin in Utah. 

We checked into buying/building/remodeling the family property up in the Uintah's, but that isn't a possibility, so we started looking down in Mount Pleasant where we had our last cabin.

There were several lots we are interested in.

It is so beautiful down there!





Our friend Barry, who lives in Pine Creek Ranch full time, offered to drive us around to see the lots available in the development.  He showed us some great lots!  He suggested we by the one right next to his, we could be next door neighbors!  That one is the only one that is for sale, but not the most desirable one.

Dean called the owners of some of the ones not for sale, and asked if they were interested in selling.  Our favorite lot, #63 said they would be!  Dean wrote up a formal offer, and started drawing up floor plans!



....well, they never responded after that.

After the offer expired, the owners said they werent interested in selling at this time.

So back down to Pine Creek we go....

This time Dean and I rode around on our 4-wheeler.  It was able to  make it up to the area that we are interested in.


This is lot #61

No, it's not for sale, but that's ok.  Dean just needs to let them know they want to sell it to us!



We also went and looked at lots in Skyline Mountain Resort.  They were awesome lots, but way to far to go on dirt roads.

We came home and Dean contacted the owner of lot #61.  He said he would be interested in selling.  He asked Dean what Dean thought the lot was worth, Dean told him, and he said that sounds good!  We made a formal offer, and both sides have signed it.  Currently we are waiting for the title company to tell us when closing will be, hopefully in the next couple of days.

Now that we are under contract on lot #61, we decided to drive down there one more time to take measurements so we can start planning.
We decided we needed another 4-wheeler, so the night before we were going down, and showing the lot to our friend Glendon, we went and bought a stolen 4-wheeler. (Click HERE for that story!)
With only one 4-wheeler, us 3 adults went back down to see the lot.


Lot #61



All 3 of us on one 4-wheeler!
Dean's driving, I'm riding on the front rack, and Glendon on the back!  Plenty of room!

We are super excited about this next adventure!  Hopefully we close on this lot soon!

...and Dean is back to drawing up floor plans!
