A new double-wide is going up in the Driggs Gemstone sub-division at Ruby and Garnet. You out of towners may wonder why I’m even mentioning this but it’s kind of a big deal. This sub-division has been frozen in time since we moved here, a victim of the crash, and I haven’t seen anything new show up here, until now.
Gemstone was designed as low-cost housing with a view and a new double-wide fits right in with the neighborhood. Somebody has actually bought this plot, acquired a modular home, had it shipped here, and built a concrete foundation for it.
I did a little research and this .31 acre plot at 265 Garnet Ave (lot 265 blk 4 gemstone sub sec 35 t5n r45e) was purchased for $10,000 by a Wyoming non-profit corporation, the Karl M. Johnson foundation, out of Jackson, WY.
Hmmm, I suspect this is intended to be a rental. Buy a plot in a low-cost area, ship in a double-wide, rent it out. Not a bad business plan…
btw: I know the sweet little old English lady that lives in that house in the background. She rides with us frequently…
