Somewhat, but not quite... I'll give you an example...
This is what I am thinking cost wise....
A campsite will run $1500. plus a $100. setup fee. Until I actually purchase the ranch, your $1500. would go into a trust. The setup fee would be non refundable and would pay for expenses associated with purchasing the property, travel etc...
Unlike a normal time share, you will not be "Sharing" your camp site with anyone... it will be accessible to you year round and you will have a key to the main gate of the property. The only thing we will mimic with a time share is a yearly maintenance fee of $400. This fee will afford me a small salary for maintaining the property, will keep lp in the tanks and will go towards construction/maintenance of the roads and community restrooms (like at a state park). You will be able to build on your camp site but there will be limitations to size and coloring of the exterior. I am thinking that minimum size camp shacks should be at least 12X12 with a maximum size of 24X24. You would have to provide solar power to your camp house. I think that these size limitations allow you to build slowly if desired and build up to the maximum size. The size limits also insure that the property would keep the look of a camp and insure that you have plenty of elbow room on your site to park, barbecue, play volleyball etc...
Over the years, I plan on putting in a couple basketball courts, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, swing sets etc... I will also include a shooting range on the rear of the property (this is important because I would like a place to shoot, and persons coming in during hunting season will probably want to sight their rifles in before leaving to the place that they are going to hunt at)
So basically for $1600. ($320. a month for 5 months) you will get a camp site... If the SHTF you gotta place to go, if you want to hang out in your RV in Colorado for a while, you gotta place to go.. If you want to build a camp house and live like a hermit, you gotta place to go... you know what I mean...
Even if the group decides to not do anything with the 50acres that I am offering, I think that it would be cool, just to have a place to go to get away at a very cheap cost...
