Hello BPers
I'm exploring future investment options, and one thing I've started to look into is finding fairly remote land anywhere between the rural part of Lincoln, all the way over to Georgetown in ElDorado county. The idea is to find cheap land with at least an acre that has water, sewer, power already on-site, or that can be economically added. Then add either a travel trailer (maybe as a temporary solution) or build a small studio type home and cater to the "remote getaway" crowd.
The issue I run into is understanding the true costs and time it would take to have approval for either of these options.
I was able to find the El Dorado county website, but its unclear to me still:

I live in Pollock Pines, I wasn't aware that Georgetown was that big of a tourist draw. Jeepers go out that way, but usually only to stop for breakfast. I'd think you would be better off here in Pollock where we have Jenkins Lake and near a variety of outdoor activities, unless you are just looking for a great mnt. spot for the city people who like to hike. There are tons of houses in Georgetown for sale right now.
Go into the local planning department when it opens with a parcel you want to buy. Get a ticket or set an appointment and they will walk you through all the costs that the city charges you. The other fees you need to talk to the contractors/engineers to get a quote.
