You can put walls and insulation around the foundation and heat the crawl space but will it be cost effective, that's the big question mark?
Most camps aren't worth it, so demo and rebuild is most likely the best way to go.
A family from NY just bought an A frame on the water across from me for 550K.
After getting estimates on remodeling, new roof, new septic, new kitchen, new baths, new windows, new heating system, adding up to over 200K, and you're still stuck with an A frame. They have decided to tear it down to the foundation and start over.
It has a 30' x 40' poured concrete foundation which will need pointing sealing and a drainage system.
So they basically bought a 1/2 acre waterfront lot with a foundation, 150' waterfront and dock on Lake Waukewan.
I expect they will have close to a million in it when done if not more.
