I would clean up the trash first. Air Bnb is a good use. Get some goats to maintain the weeds on the property. They are a big draw for families who like animals. I have seen other you tubers doing the same and the goats are a hit. Make trails around the property for hiking or mountain biking.

They owned a Off Road Shop that did custom modifications.. and they both did work on vehicles, I'm sure she's been around a shop enough to know a timing light. They are well equipped with knowledge, it's easy to forget until she says something like.. "that's a timing light".. and it snaps me back into reality, these guys have flipped houses, owned a business and sold it.. they have done more then most and are still quite young.

I am 59 years old. I have been hounding garage sales and thrift stores my whole life. The stories I could tell you. One of my best finds was a black-and-white photograph that I paid $2 for. It turned out to be an original Edward Weston, and one of his most famous photographs, worth about $10,000. You guys need to go through the trailer very carefully. You would be surprised the things that are worth a ton of money. Like an old IBM computer or an old LeBron James basketball card. Or toys. Especially old Star Wars stuff. you just never know. There might be something in that trailer that is worth more than your whole property. It happens all the time.

It’s a pretty common story: the property was homesteaded twice, separated by 15-20 years as each owner tried to build their dream home “on the cheap”, rather than the right way. One ended in fire, the other probably in bankruptcy and foreclosure, as any surviving relatives just washed their hands of the whole fiasco. Best bet is to bring in a hazmat rated waste removal company to truck all the barrels, fridges, and other junk out, then bulldoze and burn pile anything wood that remains. As for future use of those areas on the land, a seasonal tent and small RV campsite with off-grid electrical hookups and properly plumbed toilets on a septic system is one possibility. Depending how active you’d want to be with passive income, setting up a small general store and playground would take things up a notch. Another option is building out a proper access road loop, and partnering with a timber company to come in and responsibly cut and replant a percentage of the land each year. That way, you rake in the residuals for owning a thriving timberland, the forest is adequately replenished and managed against wildfires, while you also create jobs for the locals.

My wife having grown up in that area and my mother in law still living in the area, I can tell you that meth is a big problem (one of my brother in laws is currently doing time behind that). The condition of the contents of the cabin is indicative of someone who slid into addiction. As for how they got stuff up there . . . dirt roads deteriorate over time. Looking at the condition of the road, it appears that nearly 25 years ago you could easily drive a pickup up there in the summer. Everything you saw there could have been transported there in a pickup. I think you need to figure out if you can get the M1078 up there. If so, start making trips to the dump. The excavator will make quick work of ripping the place down once all of the trash is removed.

Fun tour, Thanks! Beautiful place. Random thoughts: 1) That stuff is all stolen from storage lockers. That's why it's all in totes and it's more than people would normally have. You can probably confirm that by the names on the pill bottles - are they all different? They'd cut a lock, fill their pickup, and head for the hills. 2) I'd grab ALL those baseball cards! Some are worth more than $4M. 3) You might want to quickly sort that trash into a huge pile of the stuff that would burn cleanly for a fun bonfire in the snow.

Is the road to your off grid property finished. 5. Did you get the problems fixed on the excavator? 6. Did you get the starting problem fixed on the boat? Many cliff hangers.

Judging from the stacks of containers, collectibles, and especially the empty coin collection books, it's likely that the big burned-down cabin was the home of someone who frequented storage auctions and used the smaller cabin as the storage building for the overflow of nonvaluable stuff. They might have had a small store or yardsale tent for stuff like that. The main house burned down, and there was no use for the junk left over. Vandals likely ransacked the place looking for anything valuable long after the fire.

OMG. Those blocks in the foundation are oriented wrong. The weight should be on the walls of the brick not the face. So the holes in the block should be vertical. That's the strongest orientation. If you jack parts up to re-level that cabin, rotate those blocks so their are oriented properly, with something under them to distribute the weight, like a paver or a pad of concrete. What a fun project.

I agree with the suggestion to check each of the baseball cards. If they had a lot of them at the site, they might have been hobby collectors, so there might be some left behind with value.

Dig a big hole right next to building. Sell anything possibly and toss the rest in the hole. Then push the building into it. Build a small batch up there or reclaim some land and farm it

Ok ….I’m 30 seconds into this thing and he says,” let’s go check out our new homestead “ and they each go in different directions 😶😶😶 so I think … this could be interesting! All humor aside,it’s really cool to see a young couple adventuring 😆! Just by seeing the air cleaner ,it looks like maybe a 302 ,that would be awesome!

The people who moved in probably packed up all their stuff and after getting up there came to realize that they didn't truly have use for it in an off grid situation, but where they used to live it was normal and they were used to holding on to all the electronics.

I think the second cabin needs a good fire like the first one to help clean things out. You guys would do best collecting all the metal from both places and hauling it to a scrap yard for a few bucks. Based on location however that looks to also be a challenge!! If they were here in SC you would have been greeted by many snakes, wasps and other critters.

Wow what a amazing find, truly so much to take in. Your so right Courtney it has a incredible history(story) behind the lost homesteads. Maybe you two can do a little research within the city records. Definitely the two houses needs to be demolished in time and the land can be built into something amazing. Im so taken with the view. You two have great future videos and content to explore here. Till next time stay safe. 😊

One thing is certain - the second cabin that's full of stuff seems to have several large plastic tubs that I think could be reused for something - even if only to haul out loads of junk in.

I reckon that you should leave the cabin for now and work on the other projects. Then in a few years time you could revisit it as Oliver starts to understand the world around him. It could become a family project as he grows up. Then when he's older, it can be his own place :)

I am a reseller and you do have money in that second cabin, (at least you do for the stuff that did not get wet or smells musty) Hopefully you have a friend that resells that can go through it quickly and separate the trash from what is resalable. It will not be that same as finding gold like you said but possibly a couple thousand net. You can also take what is salvaged to a local auction house and have them sell it. Use the unbroken totes with lids to repack what you can sell and you can get rid of those also.
