Introduction: Starting the Yurt Journey - Washington State

[zschwarzmiller]

Greetings Yurt Community:

My name is Zach. My wife, friend and his fiance were looking for land to purchase in SE Washington State near the Oregon boarder and came across a fantastic 20 acre property with two Yurts. We set up a time to go view the property but just before the Sellers decided they were going to keep it afterall. This got us interested in and beginning the journey to start researching and finding another property with Yurts and/or buying unimproved land (or somewhat improved - well, septic, etc) and building our own Yurts.

We have just began this journey so we are still acquiring lots of knowledge. The goal is to have a few Yurts and a homestead on at least 10 acres; however, we are eyeballing another property at the moment that is just over 100 acres. Nonetheless, were getting pretty excited.

There seems to be a lot of options for Yurts out there, so were trying to realistically dial in a company to buy one from for the first one. As time would be of the essence, we'd probably look to hire help to build 1 or 2 of them and then look into building a couple more ourselves after we were established.

I am starting to connect with other Yurt lovers and would love to meet anyone in my area who has a Yurt if you'd be interested in meeting and talking with me.

Look forward to getting to know these forums a bit more, asking some questions, and hopefully providing some insightful feedback to others once I have some understanding.

Thank You!
