Hi Dakota.
I really wanted to live there, but I built a house on my other property that already had infrastructure, electric, water and a new barn. I bought the property that I'm selling to pasture my horses. I don't have them any longer and I can't justify two farms. My neighbor keeps it up for me and grazes his cow there. There have been no chemicals applied in the years I have had it so it is clean land.
I looked into getting electric to the property. The electric co. will bring power to the barn or if I add onto the old house. I think a building has to be 700 or 800 sq feet before they will do that. The old house is two stories but foot print is 12x 24. The porches need to come off or be replaced. I have my bees on the back porch. They are doing well there.
City water comes out past the property. There is a spring that is part way up one hill. I don't know if it would run all the time if it was dug out. Some swales above might help. The little creek runs all fall, winter and spring, but dries up during the summer to only a few pools. The pond however always has water in it. Spring fed? It's below the spring on the hill. I never had to worry about my horses or the cows having water.
Thank you for your interest.
Susan
