Congratulations on your purchase.
It has been many years since I have been in that area but remember it as beautiful.
Traversed the lake a couple of times and it is quite a view.
Hope you got the property lines worked out 100%
I bought some property in the high desert years ago.
The realtor gave us a map with the property location and we went out to look at it.
Decided to buy it but was confused about the exact location so went to the realtor and asked him if he would come out and personally point out the property.
He acted put out but went down with us and actually stamped his foot on the ground and said that was the piece of dirt we was buying.
Later as my wife and I was hauling some materials to the property a neighbor a couple lots over came over and told us we should double check the property location.
They had bought their property about a year earlier and had started construction only to find the plot they bought was the one to the west next to them.
Turned out that was what we was about to do.
Went back to the realtor and it took some stern conversation but got it straightened out.
Lived there for the next ten years but for a long time after I got the house built I would get an onimus feeling someone was going to show up and tell me they owned the land I had built on.
Shot a video of my lot yesterday before I left.
My mountain home with nice stand of Lodgepole Pines. The Native American Indians used these trees to build their Teepees

Found the lot corner markers and began marking property lines. The small road on the south side of the property my neighbor Justin has been using for himself. He’s a nice guy and was super bummed he didn’t buy the property.

Having fun on the mini digging one of my septic test holes. Had to dig four which took about a 1/2 hour each, even with a trackhoe. Spent 10 hours playing on it Saturday.

So excited about having a place in the mountains. Neighbor says expect 4’ of snow to be on the ground through the winter. Been -30F there and it can freeze an night any time of the year.

Saturday was about the most fun Travis and I have ever had.There’s just something so awesome about owning your own land. We both own our property.
My brothers cabin is the last footprint you showed, although not log and no loft, it suits him just fine...I think lots of people get carried away with what a cabin is supposed to be about - simple = enjoyable. Less is more for maintaining it too. Exiting stuff! Anywhere with a reasonable drive time around here is well over 50k for a bare lot, yours is actually affordable rec property.The small cabin layout would be cozy but so enjoyable getting away from it all.
Not just rec. property but you can actually live here full time there too. Totally agree on a simple cabin. That’s what I’m leaning toward. My buddy Travis wants something 2500 sq ft. I’d like 700-1000 sq ft. North of us is La Pine and Sunriver. A one acre lot 50 miles north is about $30K goes higher the closer you get to Bend, Oregon.My brothers cabin is the last footprint you showed, although not log and no loft, it suits him just fine...I think lots of people get carried away with what a cabin is supposed to be about - simple = enjoyable.

The neighbor put up a new fence along our property line.
