Purchasing Property

I placed an offer on 160 acres 8 miles north of Dawson Creek. It is a court order sale so I was unable to "view" the property. Now having ones own plane gives one the opportunity to get a birds eye view of the property. I started with high pictures to capture the entire property and then dropped down for some detail pictures. However I had grabbed near dead batteries so was unable to capture pictures from low. ( click on pictures to enlarge.)


The property I have an offer in is the centre 1/4 section with the forested area in the middle. A house is under construction with the second floor framed over half of the main floor. This construction is built on steel piles. I may complete it for a work shop.

There is a large new dugout on the property for domestic water supply. There is also a septic cesspool in the forested area.









One double wide trailer and four single wide trailers are on the property but not included in the purchase price. The owner has the option to remove said trailers. There are approximately 40-50 vehicles on the property as well as rows of rolls of hay. If he is unable to come up with all the money owed by Dec. 5th the property will be mine. There will be a lot of clean-up required but it will be well worth it as I believe the value to be a lot greater than what I am paying.

Is that snow? It is snow, isn't it? Wow, your property looks exciting. There is little as good for the soul as a challenge. I do hope that soon it will be your name on the title. It will be great to see the air view of the improvemnents.
