$300,000 is a steal for land so rich in the rare earth mineral Alpacium.

Does Alpacium counteract any of the price reductions we'd see from the radioactive waste they've somehow managed to produce?

Too bad the Atomic Boy Scout died. He'd collect those bodies like smoke detectors.

Unironically rename the place "Netarded Riggersville" or something like that

Carpeted bathroom. Beilliant.

So many alpaca were murdered there I honestly think whoever buys it, if they know the history, might consider some kind of cleansing ritual. God knows I would want at least some prayers. Evil was done to the innocent there.

It even looks liveable! Impressive.

Impressive, very nice

Change it to the "Tenacious D Ranch" to celebrate the removal of neovaginas.

Its not just cold as balls in the winter, its also hot as fuck in the summer. Its not called the North American Badlands to make some sort of epic statement. Its literally Bad Land.


40 Acres in West Colorado is not the same thing as 40 acres on the east coast. Shit, I own 1 acre of East Coast, and if I had the time/inclination, I could turn that 1 acre into a very productive orchard/pig farm. Pen the pigs on the quarter acre, use another quarter acre for the house and half an acre for apple trees, squash, etc. You can literally put seeds from the grocery store into the ground here and the plants will grow.

Try doing that shit in Western Colorado. The land is so marginal if you tried to raise more then a few cows on 40 acres and it will turn into the surface of the moon. Which the tranchers discovered with their hundreds of Alpacas. As for plants, good luck getting anything remotely useful to grow on it. The only thing that 40 acres is good for is making sure your neighbors are VERY far away.

Could the tranch be profitable if you tore down the house and turned the whole thing into a solar/wind farm selling power back to the grid?

The farns won. The Alpacas did not.

Don't worry, we'll buy a big ol' wall and inscribe the names of every dead alpaca on it. It'll be like the Vietnam War memorial, only more autistic, and by it we shall remember every alpaca that died so the Tranch could continue for our entertainment.

Just one minor flaw in your plan - there is no grid.

Just one minor flaw in your plan - there is no grid.

And even if there was, and there was absolutely no zoning, permitting or other legal issues in the situation, and the downstream could absorb that much solar without crashing prices for everyone, you're still looking at $20M+ in investment to actually build the thing. If you had that kind of money, you wouldn't be fucking around with a solar farm in the middle of nowhere like this. Even if you were a huge green you'd just locate this kind of operation in some place like california, where you get far less snow, electricity prices and subsidies for solar are much higher, and Newsom will personally suck your dick under the table for building it (Or so I've heard).

If the stars aligned and you had twenty million bucks in account locked currency for that property only, then its an extreme maybe.

I’m shocked that we’ve only now learned that the tranch had a shag-carpet in the bathroom.

I remember when I was growing up in the north, it was not uncommon for bathrooms furnished/built in the 70's and 80's to have carpeted bathrooms, especially if the inhabitants were old.
In the winter, the floors could get really cold and old people don't usually like that....so they'd carpet the bathrooms.
Now, it was incredibly nasty and needed to be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis, which is why most people abandoned carpeting for rugs that can be picked up and thrown in the washing machine.
That's my theory at least.

But why would they ever do carpet instead of starting with rugs? It’s not like rugs were invented in the 90s. IMO built-in carpeting only makes sense in bedrooms, maybe living rooms, and even then I’d rather put down a rug or just wear slippers when it’s cold than deal with it.


Honestly, whoever buys the land should read this thread, there’s a lot of good ranching/homesteading advice in here. Though it would take years of remediation before I would consider using it as pastureland for large animals.
Perhaps chickens would work? There’s a small but growing market for organic/heirloom/pasture chicken meat. They love pecking and scratching around in dust, which is about all the land is at this point. The sheds/barns probably aren’t in great shape but I think could be converted into chicken houses pretty easily.

Carpet in bathrooms is a thing in Colorado. The climate is so dry that mold isn't an issue. That said, it's disgusting in an area with a toilet and troons.
