After a few years of looking at property it finally happened and closed today. An acre of land in the pine forested valley east of Crater Lake, Oregon. The bare acre lot was listed at $7,000. I took a trip down to actually look at a couple other lots. I decided since I drove almost 4 hours I should look them all over. The property looked like the others but I saw a familiar object in the distance. As I got closer I saw a water well. I looked on the lot description and it mentioned no well. It also had a 4” pvc conduit ran in from the nearest power pole. Thinking I walked onto the wrong lot I walked back out to the street. The realty sign was there??? Confused as there are no addresses here I continued to walk around. The state of Oregon requires wells to have an ID tag. This shows who drilled the well and how it was constructed. We showed it was drilled in 2012 and produced over 20 gpm and was 60 feet deep.
Once I got back home I sent the well log to my realtor. She checked the tax ID on both the property for sale and the well log and they matched. Decided that it’s now or never to get a vacation property. Both of us suggested not mentioning the well. I called the well driller and talked with him. I work on wells here in northern Oregon so am very familiar with the industry.
After agreeing on $6500 I proceeded with the earnest money and final payment. Well it closed today and I have a mountain retreat at 4600’ in the snowbelt country east of Crater Lake National Park. The region has nice dry summers and cold snowy winters. The property is mostly covered with Lodgepole Pine.
First priority is fencing the property. Next will be installing a submersible pump and manual hand pump. After the well get power to the property. Install septic system. Start a pole barn with living quarters. First few will be camp trips. Should be a lot of fun in my FJ60 Landcruiser Snowball.
If your in Oregon it’s be great to get together. If not then this thread will show the progress and journey ahead. This place is gonna be a lot of fun.
