Forgive me for not knowing the full story yet, but this fits right in with discussions on weird properties that surveyors encounter.
The deed calls out: All that part of Lot 4 (a Government river lot) in Section XYZ lying south of the creek.
The catch is that there is no access to get to this tract.?ÿ It has been sold more than a couple of times over the past 50 years at the County Tax Sale for non-payment of property taxes.?ÿ The most recent purchase cost $20 total.
The nearest public road to the property is across the river and a hike across private property.?ÿ That landowner feels no obligation to allow said hike.
The logical approach from a public road would start nearly a mile to the northwest but require crossing several hundred acres of land owned by an out-of-state rich dude who almost never visits what he owns.?ÿ He has made it clear that he will never allow access across his land.?ÿ This is logically the original parent tract for the less than five acres south of the creek and north of the section line.
The other logical approach from a public road would start over a mile to the south but require crossing several hundred acres of land owned by an out-of-state fellow who grew up in the area but now lives about 800 miles away and very rarely visits this inherited property of several hundred acres.?ÿ He does not want to allow any kind of access to anyone for any reason.
The eastern boundary of the subject tract is a couple hundred feet of river bank.?ÿ The northern and western boundary is the creek.?ÿ The southern boundary is a section line that runs up a mound, then down the other side.?ÿ It is overgrown with some variety of trees and other vegetation making it almost impenetrable to walk through.

Obviously an adjoiner should buy it at that price.
Depending on whether the river is navigable under federal rules, or whether the state law allows travel on boatable rivers regardless of the wishes of the riverbank owner, it might be possible to start from public riverfront property, or riverfront property owned by an agreeable private owner, and boat to the property in question.
Call USACE.?ÿ They will have an answer.?ÿ ?????ÿ
@bill93?ÿ
If I was the adjoiner, I'd wait until they gave it to me.?ÿ
But then you can say, 20 bucks is the same thing.?ÿ
I'm assuming this is farm land...
Perhaps some helicopter pilot should buy it.
@dougie?ÿ
No crops.?ÿ 98 percent trees and underbrush.?ÿ Nowhere to land a helicopter.
If you somehow got there, then shot a 30 point buck, you would have one heck of a time trying to take it home with you.
If you somehow got there, then shot a 30 point buck,
What if you owned the adjoining property (and this one) and charged exorbitant amounts of money for rich, out of state hunters an opportunity to bag that 30 pointer.
When I was coming home from Anchorage, last year, there was a group ahead of me at baggage check. They had 2 huge sets of moose antlers; at least 10' across; behind them were boxes of meat on dry ice; camping gear; hunting gear; everything you'd need to pull off a hunt like they had. I can't imagine the expense of that trip. These guys were on the same plane as me, back to Seattle. Do a google search and see that there is a lot of money sitting up here in the PNW. There's no reason people can't cash in on it; with the right opportunity.
Poor Bullwinkle.?ÿ Think I accidentally ran over Rocky last week.
