closing the deal

After extended negotiations on a lot that did not result in a deal and a serious scare concerning ownership after agreeing on a purchase price on another lot...we closed! We started the Methow Valley land search in March 2011 and closed on a deal in August 2011. It took two visits to the Valley and a lot of hard work on the part of our real estate agent Sheila.   

I cannot say it was the smoothest buy-sell transaction, but it was worth it because we are now part of the Edelweiss Community. Edelweiss is about 9 miles north of Winthrop and 2 miles south of the Mazama Junction.  The Lot is a little less than 2.5 acres, very private, has a nice view of Lucky Jim's Bluff, and is heavily treed. All Edelweiss properties have water and electricity.  This lot is sloped and there are a few potential building locations.
