I’ve got a 700sqft cabin on 12 acres, on a river. The original builder was a Chiropractor that built it by recycling a tear down timber frame building from another location. He milled logs from the property to build the 2nd story. The problem is aside from power and the well no permits were pulled. The county shows it as raw land. It’s structurally very sound. It has homeowners insurance. What happens if I list it with an agent? Do I get comparable value for similar cabins? Or raw land value?

Permit requirements/enforcement seem to vary significantly based on your local government. For example, I know in Alaska you can build whatever you want wherever you want. May be more helpful to talk to a SME in your area.

That’s exactly what he did. Cobbled together a cabin out of whatever like it was Alaska, but it’s in rural Washington state. It turned out super cool. It’s like brand new railroad Timbers on a pier foundation. It’s tongue and groove cedar/Doug fir, big beams, 35ft ceilings. It’s probably 200k in materials to rebuild it. Good recommendation about a local sme, just a little nervous about drawing attention to it.
