Five years ago, my wifey and I bought a cabin without even seeing it first, all of us had no system what we were getting ourselves into at first and most of our friends and family told us that we were just plain ridiculous for trying it to begin with! I truthfully kind of agreed with them at that point because this was way more of a risk than I am usually willing to take in life! Usually I am a genuinely focused and straight laced lady who doesn’t ever want to take a risk… However, we needed to hurry up and move because of a new task that my partner had taken and we didn’t have time to travel all the way out there to a weird state to look at houses.
All of us found one online that we thought would be a wonderful fit for us, and we just went for it! The only thing that we were super distraught about was the Heating and A/C system and the cabin had radiant heated flooring throughout the first floor in the dining rooms, the lavatorys, and the home office. It also boasted a wood burning fireplace in the home office and another gas log fireplace in the master dining room. I told my partner that as long as the site had some closets somewhere and a couple of dining rooms, we would actually make it work. Now, we have been living in the cabin for almost 5 years and we are still affectionate the house. The Heating and A/C system in the cabin is way better than we ever thought it would end up being.
