Nah. I traded him last year for a new bull.

Not enough acreage at the camp anyway.

When I first saw it, I could see the potential. I didn't pay much at all for the place, so the remodel budget is fat.



Which one is you?


Just kidding. I think it is going to be a great place. The boathouse looks legit solid.

Before I started doing any improvments I'd check it structurally for termites. Looks like the kind of place that might be ate slap up with them.

As long as it’s got good bones you can rehab it. I’m jealous. You’ll have a fine place in no time

You wouldn’t want to remodel like Vanilla Ice?

It's tucked back in the cypress trees which obstruct the view of the "main lake", but you have a view of the "pocket" and can see water.

The camp is about 40 yards from the water line and with the floor being about 12 feet above the water level. It did not flood in 2015 when they had the big "100 year flood".

Ha no thanks, salvania has taken over this lake and further north is worse. Just curious because several camps flooded out in the last few years so I’ve been watching a bunch of people trying to dump these “camps” on people. Not trying to be a downer but I work with a group that handles bistineau issues and I don’t want to see anyone get blindsided. Just make sure to do your research.

I bought one that looked worse than that on Four Points Road in Dulac 20 years ago for $11,000. Some good sweat equity, lot of beer and fried fish, maybe 5 grand total in improvements and sold it 6 years later for $49k.

Sweat equity and beer. It always increases your value.

I have an old farmhouse now that I work on. I love it. Enjoy the project that’s as much fun.
