2.2 Acres in Deaver, WY - $399,000
Two Log Homes on two acres with irrigation rights - Owner financing available!
What a feat! An earth-bermed log home with a log guest cabin and a log sided shed on two acres with irrigation rights for lawn and garden. The guest cabin has its own garage.
The two log homes are freshly built and the floor covering and light fixtures are up to the buyer. The homes have a cement floor which can either be stained to fit your décor or any other floor covering you might like. The "missing floor and lights" are reflected in the price, as you can see. The total square feet for both homes with garages and shop are 4,310sqft. The pricing for log homes with 8" logs usually starts at $200 per sqft, so you are getting this little compound for less than half the price!

The septic is approved for 4 bedrooms. There are three bedrooms in the main house plus an office and den. The guest cabin features its own kitchen, bath and bedroom. Attached to it are the shop, garage and covered porch.
The guest cabin and shed were built to bring back the charm of the old west with antique doors, some salvaged windows and the classic tin roof. The berm of the main house features a log retaining wall toward the drainage ditch, which is graced by old willow trees. The berm of course makes the home very energy efficient. Not only that, but only the south wall of the home are solid logs. The west and east side of the home are half slabs on the inside and outside with 6"insulation in between. This will not only keep the bugs out, but also the cold in winter and the heat in summer. The utility bill for both homes is $ 50 per month and it isn't much higher in winter if you use the wood stove to help out. It took less than 2 chords for the whole winter last year. There are eight chords of wood neatly stacked, which will convey with the homes.
The "raw" water is gravity fed into the houses to flush the toilets. There is a 1,000 gal cistern which gravity feeds the water into the house. It costs $3 to fill up a 1,000 gallon tank, which lasts a whole month for a bachelor. There is a high water table and you can find water just 30ft down. I would drill a well and put a reverse osmosis unit under the sink. It certainly would not cost very much to do that.
The home comes with water rights and the lawn has an underground automatic sprinkler system. You certain could grow a nice garden there. The view is unobstructed to three sides, since the property is surrounded by ranch land as far as the eye will reach. The homes sit back from the road and there is one neighbor on one acre between this little compound and the county gravel road, which not only blocks off the noise, but also the dust.
The home is close to the Montana border and about one hour from Billings, one hour from Cody, one hour from Red Lodge (skiing!) and half an hour from Lovell. The school is in Deaver, just a few miles down the road.
